Best Answer

No. The formula is for propane, not pentane. A pentane would have five carbon atoms, and this formula shows only three.

What is ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch3?

What is ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch3 ???? If you mean CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 , then it is Hexane. Note the use of CAPITAL letters. NB One letter elemental symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. It is the internationally recognised standard. So Carbon is 'C' , not 'c' Similarly Hydrogen is 'H' , not 'h'.
