Question

Distinguish tje difference between n-butane and cyclo-butane

Answer 1

n-butane is a isomer of the butane chain where as the cyclo- butane is square shaped cyclo alkane compound of the butane family....

Answer 2

Difference between n-butane and cyclo-butane:

n-butane:

• n-butane is the isomer of butane.
• It is the highly flammable hydrocarbon gas that is liquified through pressurization.
• It is a colourless gas.
• When there is plenty of oxygen, butane burns to form water vapour and carbon dioxide.

• When oxygen is limited, carbon monoxide is formed.

Cyclobutane:

• Cyclobutane is a derived form of butane.
• It is a "simple alicyclic hydrocarbon"($C_{4} H_{8}$), light inflammable gas.

• Cyclobutane is a circular structure.
