Explanation:
Stefan V. Butane, or C4H10 , has two structural (also called constitutional) isomers called normal butane, or unbranched butane, and isobutane, or i-butane. According to IUPAC nomenclature, these isomers are called
simply butane and 2-methylpropane.
The compound butane, C4H10 , occurs in two isomeric forms, and isobutane (2-methyl propane)
Butane is a colorless gas with a faint petroleum-like odor. For transportation it may be stenched. It is shipped as a liquefied gas under its vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. It is easily ignited. Its vapors are heavier than air. Any leak can be either liquid or vapor. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. It is used as a fuel, an aerosol propellant, in cigarette lighters, and to make
Butane is a straight chain alkane composed of 4 carbon atoms. It has a role as a food propellant and a refrigerant. It is a gas molecular entity and an alkane.
