∙ 11y agoEthane has no structural isomers and hence there is no n-ethane and iso-ethane.

∙ 11y agoYes, 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.
The sequence goes like this:methane1, ethane2, propane3, butane4, pentane5, hexane6, heptane7, octane8, nonane9, decane10 and so on the formula for working out the hydrocarbon chain isCnH2n+2
The unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms is known as octane.
Natural gas is mainly composed of methane, a hydrocarbon compound with a chemical formula of CH4. In addition to methane, natural gas can also contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as non-hydrocarbon gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide.
LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a mixture of propane, butane, and sometimes small amounts of other hydrocarbons like ethane. The typical composition of LPG is around 60% propane and 40% butane.

The unbranched alkane with eight carbon atoms is known as octane.
Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, a simple hydrocarbon compound with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. It also contains small amounts of other hydrocarbons, such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as impurities like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur compounds.
Hydrocarbon gases like methane, propane, and butane can be used as fuel sources for cooking, heating, and electricity generation. They are also used as raw materials in the production of plastics, chemicals, and other products. Additionally, some hydrocarbon gases are used in vehicles as compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Three hydrocarbons are methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), and propane (C3H8). These are organic compounds composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They are often used as fuels due to their high energy content.
The primary substance in natural gas is methane, which is a hydrocarbon compound composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. In addition to methane, natural gas may also contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane, as well as impurities like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur compounds.
LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas, which is predominantly made up of propane and butane. These gases are hydrocarbons that are easily liquefied under moderate pressure, making them suitable for use as a portable fuel source. Additionally, LPG may contain small amounts of other gases like ethane, propylene, and butylene.
Butane is a gas at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. In the fuel tanks of cigarette lighters, butane welding torches, and most other butane powered heating devices, butane has been compressed to the point that it remains liquid at room temperature. When the trigger of these devices is depressed, a valve opens, allowing butane to escape from the tank, and in doing so, it's pressure drops to atmospheric pressure, and the liquid butane escaping the tank rapidly boils and becomes a gas, which is ignited by an ignition source. Strictly speaking, if the tank contained pure butane, when all the butane has evaporated, all that would be left in the tank is butane gas at atmospheric pressure. If you sprayed liquid butane on your table, and it were completely pure, the liquid would evaporate, leaving nothing behind. In reality, butane fuel is not completely pure, and may contain small amounts of all sorts of contaminants, some of which can be left behind after the butane evaporates. Some of these contaminants like methane, ethane, and propane likely would evaporate away with the butane, but other contaminants, like trace amounts of other petroleum distillates will likely remain after the butane evaporates.
