It is a hydrocarbon with the formula, C4H10
4
A butane molecule has a size of approximately 4 angstroms (0.4 nanometers) in length.
Butane is not an element, but a complex hydrocarbon molecule, C4H10.
There's no such molecule; elements cannot combine that way. If you meant H10C4, then it's a structural isomer of butane. (Butane or 2-methylpropane.)
Butane is a nonpolar molecule, while water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar molecules like butane are not attracted to the polar water molecules, making it insoluble in water. This lack of interaction between the molecules prevents butane from dissolving in water.
A molecule of butane contains a total of 10 sigma bonds.
A butane molecule has four carbon atoms (at six protons each) and ten hydrogen atoms (at one proton each). It will make a total of 34 protons per molecule.
But-
Butane is a non-polar molecule and therefore does not dissociate in water to release ions, so it does not have a pH value. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, which butane does not contribute to.
No, butane is a molecule made up of atoms. It is composed of four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms bonded together. An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element.
Butane is homogeneous. Butane may mean n-butane, iso-butane or a mixture of the two isomers. If the sample were a mixture of the two isomers then it would be a homgeneous mixture.
Butane is a pure substance. It is a compound composed of only one type of molecule (C4H10) and is chemically uniform throughout.
