Are butane and isobutane substituted hydrocarbons if not what are they?
No. Butane and isobutane are simple hydrocarbons and isomers of one another.
How many chain isomers are there in butane?
Butane has 2 isomers:CH3CH2CH2CH3 - butaneCH3CH(CH3)CH3 - 2-methylpropane (or isobutane)
Butane and isobutane are examples of?
both having same molecular formula bur differ in their position, so these are the Ex. of positional isomers
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
How many isomer of C6H10?
Three organic compounds have this chemical formula.
Are butane and isobutane substituted hydrocarbons if not what are they?
No. Butane and isobutane are simple hydrocarbons and isomers of one another.

Can you make two structural isomers from a saturated alkane C4H10?
n-butane CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 and isobutane CH3-CH(CH3)-CH3
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
How many isomer of C6H10?
Three organic compounds have this chemical formula.
What is the most abundant alkane in a butane lighter?
isobutane
What is the chemical formula for isobutane?
They are both C4H10 but isobutane has another structure, called Isomer Butane: Isobutane: H H H H H H H H-C-C-C-C-H H-C-C-C-H H H H H HHCHH H Isobutane comes in Y shape not in series as n-butane. In refineries, they transform n-butane to iso-buatene. So, they can use it in alkaline units to produce gasoline
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 can two compounds made from the same elements be different?
The difference could be in the proportions of the elements or in the structure of the compounds There are three iron oxides where the proportions of the elements are different, FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4 There are two isomers of butane C4H10 , two structural forms, n-butane and iso-butane.
Isomerism of n butane and iso butane?
These isomers have different molecular structures.
