The correct molecular formula for methylpropane is C4H10.
C4H10 is the molecular formula for butane, as it represents the actual number of atoms of each element in a single molecule of the compound. The empirical formula for butane would be CH5, as it shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in the compound.
BUTANE!
If C2H5 was the molecular formula its molecular mass would be 29 ( 12 x 2 + 5 x 1) However, 29 x 2 = 58 the actual molecular mass. So we double up the atoms in C2H5 to C4H10 . C4H10 is the molecular formula.

The molecular formula, or chemical equation, for the substance butane is C4H10. This means that it contains 4 carbon and 10 hydrogen.
Butanes are organic molecules of the formula of C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.12 grams per mole.
Do you mean the molecular formula? If so, then it is C4H10. If you mean empirical formula, then it is C2H5.
C4H10 has 2 isomers: butane and isobutane (also called 2-methyl propane)
CH2O is both the empirical and molecular formula for formaldehyde. The empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of each type of atom in a molecule.
The formula is 2 x C2H5 = C4H10. :)
C4H10 is a molecular compound. It is a type of hydrocarbon known as butane, composed of covalently bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms.
