Butane, (CH3CH2CH2CH3) and methyl propane, (CH3CH(CH3)CH3). The old, non-IUPAAC name for the latter is Isobutane. Both, of course have the same empirical formula of C4H10.

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.


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.


How many double bonds are in the structural formula for butane C4H10?

There are no double bonds in the structural formula for butane (C4H10). Butane is a straight-chain alkane with four carbon atoms bonded to each other with single bonds and the remaining hydrogen atoms.


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.


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 isomer of C6H10?

There are multiple possible isomers of C6H10. One example is hexene, which has positional isomers based on the location of the double bond. Another example is cyclohexane, which has structural isomers such as methylcyclopentane. The total number of isomers would depend on the specific structures allowed.


What molecule is H10C04?

There's no such molecule; elements cannot combine that way. If you meant H10C4, then it's a structural isomer of butane. (Butane or 2-methylpropane.)


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.


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

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


How many chain isomers are there in butane?

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


What is the total number of bonds formed by one of tha carbon atoms in a butane molecule?

In a butane molecule each of the carbon forms four sigma bonds .The terminal carbon forms three sigma bonds with hydrogen and one sigma bond with carbon and the rest of the each of the carbon atoms form two sigma bonds with carbon and two sigma bonds with hydrogen .In total there are thirteen butane molecules in a sigma bond


If you can make two structural isomers for the saturated alkane C4H10 does that mean you can connect the carbons in two different patterns?

Yes, creating two different structural isomers for C4H10 implies that you can connect the four carbon atoms in distinct arrangements. This is because structural isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms.
