Answer 1

One compound, called n-butane, where the prefix n- represents normal, has its four carbon atoms bonded in a continuous chain. The other, called isobutane, has a branched chain. Different compounds that have the same molecular formula are called isomers.


Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. The carbon atoms in an alkane may be arranged in a straight chain, or they may be branched. ... Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain a double or triple covalent bond. Isomers are molecules that consist of the same atoms in different arrangements.
