It differs on where the double bond is located. The number in front of the butene means what carbon number of the chain the double bond starts on. In 2 methyl 1 butene it is in between the 1 and 2 carbons and in 2 methyl 2 butene it is located between the 2 and 3 carbons on the butane chain.

∙ 11y agoThe stucture of butane is different to methyl butans because the isoptopes that are latched on the neutrons. Many professionals believe it is because methyl contains differnt particles wich are ethan and methanol. This makes the structure unstable meaning it forms a different structure.

∙ 11y agoButane is a four carbon chain. Methyl Butane is a four carbon chain, with an extra carbon attached (Five carbons total). Keep in mind IUPAC rules state the molecule should be named by the longest carbon chain. In methyl butane, the second or third carbon (It doesn't matter which carbon it gets added to, since both structures are identical) have an extra CH3.

What is the molecular formula for methyl butane?
The molecular formula of Butane is C4H10. It's an organic compound that is a gas at room temperature, and is highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied. The structure of n-Butane is CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3.
What will be the no of chiral compounds after mono chlorination of 2 Methyl butane?
4
What represents c6h14?
A saturated hydrocarbon (alkane). This can mean hexane, methyl pentane, ethyl butane, dimethyl butane etc.
How many different isomers are possible for a hydrocarbon with the molecular formula c3h10?
Only two isomers are possible 1,Butane and 2, 2-methyl propane. Not quite: "butane" has no need for a number and the second compound should be simply "2-methylpropane" or even more simply "methylpropane" since there is only one possible structure for it.
What can you conclude about the structure of this compound butane?
Butane is an alkane - C4H10.
What is the common name of 2 methylbutane?
1-Chloro,2-Methyl butane
Why there is a short difference in melting and boiling point of methyl substitued butane?
Because the only force holding methyl substituted butane together is a very weak dispersion force and it is not very heavy so it pretty much wants to be a gas.
How many carbons does butane have on iys structure?
butane has four carbons
What is the number of C-Cbonds in methylbutane?
4 c-c bonds are present in methyl butane.
