Butane
It usually shows 2 chain isomers.
1. n-butane
It is a gas present in the present room temperature and pressure. It is dangerous as it highly flamable in nature. It is also highly liquidity in nature and can easily be vapourised in the atmosphere.
It has 4 atoms of carbon bonded in a chain like structure continuously.
It's molar formula will be 58.12g/mol.

- IUPAC name
Butane
2. isobutane
It is gas molecular, it is a gas with light petroleum gas odour. It is used in gasoline, refinery etc.It is the simplest alkaline. Inhaling this can be harmful for the nostrils and throat.
