The group having the condensed structural formula "CH3CH(CH3)CH2-" (which also could be drawn as "(CH3)2CHCH2-") is called ___.

The 2004 IUPAC names for alkyl groups are derived from the alkane having the same carbon chain as the alkyl group. The - $e$ ending of that alkane is replaced by $-y l$, and the chain is numbered from the end that gives the carbon at the point of attachment its lower number. This number immediately precedes the $-y l$ ending and is bracketed by hyphens. Name the $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{9}$ alkyl groups according to this system.
