Question

what is the difference between n butane,iso butane and neo butane??

Answer 1

Butane (/ˈbjuːteɪn/) is an organic compoundwith the formula C4H10 that is an alkane with four carbon atoms. Butane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The term may refer to either of two structural isomers, n-butane or isobutane (also called "methylpropane"), or to a mixture of these isomers. In the IUPAC nomenclature, however, "butane" refers only to the n-butane isomer (which is the isomer with the unbranched structure). Butanes are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases that quickly vaporize at room temperature. The name butane comes from the roots but- (from butyric acid, named after the Greek word for butter) and -ane. It was discovered by the chemist Edward Frankland in 1849.[6]

Butane

Answer 2

Hello friend !!!

Here's the answer you are looking for

Butane of n-Butane is the simple structure formed by 4 C atoms.

The prifix Iso- is used when 1 C atom is attached to the 2nd C atom of Parent chain.

So isobutane or 2-methylpropane is an isomer of butane.

The prifix neo- is used when 2 C atoms are attached to the 2nd C atom of Parent chain.
In case of butane, neobutane is same as n-butane. See the attachment for reference
