Best Answer

Butane (C4H10) contains only single bonds and 4 carbon atoms. For your convenience here are some organic prefixes and what they mean:

Meth - 1

Eth - 2

Prop - 3

But - 4

Pent - 5

Hex - 6

Hept - 7

Oct - 8

And here are some suffixes as well:

ane - Single bond

ene/ylene - Double bond

yne - Triple bond

Hope this helps.

Why single and double bond length are same in benzene?

In reality, benzene does not contain alternating single and double bonds. It is more accurate to say that each carbon-carbon bond is in an intermediate state between a single and a double bond. Benzene therefore displays a property known as resonance.

What are the types of bond present in alkanes alkenes and alkynes?

Alkanes have only single carbon-carbon bond.Alkenes have min. a double carbon-carbon bond.Alkynes have min. a triple carbon-carbon bond.

No, they are unsaturated as they contain double bonds


What does Tetrafluoroethene contain that allows it to form a polymer?

A carbon - carbon double covalent bond. This makes tetrafluoroethene an alkene. ONLY ALKENES can form polymers. The double bond splits into one single bond on either side of the carbon. c=c turns into -c-c-


What gas represents the chemical formula C4H10?

C4H10 is the molecular formula for Butane. Butane has two possible *structural formulas* which describe the way in which the molecule is constructed. n-Butane has the condensed structural formula of CH3CH2CH2CH3. In this isomer of Butane each Carbon is bonded to another forming a chain with Hydrogens bonded to each of the carbons, 3 to the Carbon on each end, and 2 to each Carbon in the center. Isobutane has the condensed structural formula of CH(CH3)3. In this isomer, 3 Carbons are bonded to a single Carbon atom in the center of the molecule. The outer Carbons have 3 Hydrogens bonded to them, and the center Carbon has 1 Hydrogen bonded to it.


Is Carbon Dioxide a single double or a triple bond?

There are two oxygen double bonded to one carbon. DOUBLE BOND.


Why doesn't butane has isomers?

The name butane is applied by IUPAC to the unbranched form of B4H10.However many chemists use the name butane to refer to both isomers ofB4H10 , n-butane the unbranched form and iso-butane the branched form.


Does saturated hydrocarbons contain one carbon to carbon double bond?

no only saturated oils have double bonds i hope i answered your question correctly *****************2nd Opinion************** Yes, unsaturated oils can accept more hydrogen atoms into their structure, by virtue of having at least one double bond. Yes, unsaturated oils have at least one double bond.
