It means 'new'.
The IUPAC name of neopentane is 2,2-dimethylpropane.
Neopentane, with the chemical formula C5H12, is made up of single covalent bonds between its carbon and hydrogen atoms. The carbon atoms in neopentane are sp3 hybridized, resulting in a tetrahedral molecular shape. These bonds are nonpolar due to the lack of electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen.
There are 3 isomers of C5H12[pentane] They are 1st- N pentane, 2nd- Isopentane/Dimethylbutane, and 3rd Neopentane/Dimethylpropane
It is because n-pentane is a straight chain hydrocarbon meaning it has more surface area to reach the boiling point, neopentane has significantly less surface area that's why it will boil quicker than n-pentane. The more branched molecule, the lower is its boiling point will be & the less branched molecule, the higher its boiling point will be. For combustion energy the opposite holds true, the more branched molecule has a higher energy than an unbranched one.Hope You Like My Answer...By rananeeraj168@gmail.com in facebook
There are five constitutional isomers for C3H7. They are propane, methylpropane (isobutane), dimethylmethane (neopentane), ethylmethyl (butane), and trimethylmethane (isopentane).
"Neo-" is a prefix meaning modern.
The IUPAC name of neopentane is 2,2-dimethylpropane.
νέος - neos or neo, as in neo-nazi, neo-darwinism, neo-expressionism, neo-freudian, neo-gothic, neo-latin, etc. also - "koinos" meaning "newly made, different from that which had been formerly" as opposed to "neos" meaning "young"
Neopentane was first discovered by Stanley M. Byrn in 1910. It is a branched-chain hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C5H12.
The word you are looking for is 'neo'.

Neopentyl halide refers to a halogenated derivative of neopentane, specifically a compound where at least one of the hydrogen atoms in neopentane is substituted with a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. These halide compounds are commonly used in organic synthesis and as building blocks for more complex molecules due to the steric hindrance provided by the neopentyl group.
