Are butane and isobutane substituted hydrocarbons if not what are they?

Butane and isobutane are both alkane hydrocarbons. They are not substituted hydrocarbons, as they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structure. Substituted hydrocarbons would have other elements or functional groups replacing some of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule.


How many chain isomers are there in butane?

Butane has 2 isomers:CH3CH2CH2CH3 - butaneCH3CH(CH3)CH3 - 2-methylpropane (or isobutane)


How many constitutional isomers are available for C3H7?

There are five constitutional isomers for C3H7. They are propane, methylpropane (isobutane), dimethylmethane (neopentane), ethylmethyl (butane), and trimethylmethane (isopentane).


How many non cyclic isomers are there for Butane?

There are two structural isomers approved by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) 1.) n-butane (normal butane) is a straight chain 2.) iso-butane (or methyl-propane) is a chain of three with one carbon attached to the middle of the chain


How many isomers of C8H10 are there?

Butane C4H10 has 2 isomersbutane C-C-C-C (n-butane)2-methyl propane CH3)2-CH-CH3 (isobutane)


What physical property is identical for the two isomers co C4H10?

The melting and boiling points are different. Butane has a melting point of 135.4K and 2-methylpropane [isobutane] has a melting point of 114K. The boiling point of Butane is 272.6K and isobutane @ 261K. It has to do with there structures. J


What is the shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism?

The shortest-chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism is butane (C4H10). Butane can exhibit two structural isomers: n-butane and isobutane, which differ in the arrangement of carbon atoms in the chain.


Which compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures?

isomers


How many different isomers are possible for hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4H10?

The alcohols having the formula C4H10O are four 1-butanol , 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol.


Butane and isobutane are examples of?

Butane and isobutane are examples of hydrocarbons known as alkanes. They have similar chemical compositions but different structures due to the branching of carbon atoms in isobutane. Both are commonly used as fuels in various applications such as lighters and camping stoves.


Can you make two structural isomers from a saturated alkane C4H10?

n-butane CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 and isobutane CH3-CH(CH3)-CH3


Is there any structural formula of n ethane and iso ethane like n butane and iso butane?

Yes, the structural formula of n-butane is C4H10 and the structural formula of isobutane (2-methylpropane) is also C4H10. However, for ethane, the formula is C2H6 and there isn't a distinct isomer like isobutane for ethane.
