It means 'new'.
Neopentane contains only covalent bonds.
2,2-dimethylpropane
There are 3 isomers of C5H12[pentane] They are 1st- N pentane, 2nd- Isopentane/Dimethylbutane, and 3rd Neopentane/Dimethylpropane
It is because n-pentane is a straight chain hydrocarbon meaning it has more surface area to reach the boiling point, neopentane has significantly less surface area that's why it will boil quicker than n-pentane. The more branched molecule, the lower is its boiling point will be & the less branched molecule, the higher its boiling point will be. For combustion energy the opposite holds true, the more branched molecule has a higher energy than an unbranched one.Hope You Like My Answer...By rananeeraj168@gmail.com in facebook
Neo is used in the naming of the common nomenclature or organic compounds for easier identification.
Neopentane contains only covalent bonds.
νέος - neos or neo, as in neo-nazi, neo-darwinism, neo-expressionism, neo-freudian, neo-gothic, neo-latin, etc. also - "koinos" meaning "newly made, different from that which had been formerly" as opposed to "neos" meaning "young"
