(Webster 1913)
In organic compound terms the difference between methyl and orthoxylene
is that methyl is the univalent hydrocarbon radical, CH3, formally derived from methane by the loss of a hydrogen atom; a compound or part of a compound formed by the attachment of such a radical while orthoxylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon based on benzene with two methyl substituents bonded to adjacent carbon atoms in the aromatic ring (the ortho configuration).methyl

- You might point out in the theory of oxidation of oils, in development of rancidity in oils, that many methyls' accelerate this oxidation of oils. I do not want to burden you with a lecture on chemistry but there are some ' methyls like iron which has both a valence of two and of three. Another example is cobalt which has a valence of both two and three.
