It is butane.
Propane (C3H8) is the shortest chain alkane that can demonstrate isomerism. It has two possible isomers: n-propane and isopropane.
Optical isomerism arises due to the presence of chiral centers in a molecule, which leads to the molecule being non-superimposable on its mirror image. Geometrical isomerism, on the other hand, arises from restricted rotation around a double bond or ring. Organic compounds can exhibit optical isomerism if they have chiral centers but typically do not show geometrical isomerism unless there are specific structural features like double bonds or rings that limit rotation.
Functional group isomerism, as 1,2-butadiene and cyclobutene are its isomer, 1-butyne is its positional isomer.
In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.
Yes. The alkane series is the series of saturated hydrocarbons with the formula CnHn+2 .

Geometric isomerism also known as cis-trans isomerism or E-Z isomerism
The geometrical isomerism is mainly Cis-trans isomerism but in some cases we use another term Z and E isomers, they are almost same.
Structural isomerism is a type of isomerism where the isomers have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of atoms within the molecule. This results in different structural arrangements and different chemical and physical properties among the isomers. There are different types of structural isomerism, such as chain isomerism, positional isomerism, and functional group isomerism.

No, there are many alkanes; methane is the simplest alkane.
Yes, if the alkane is cyclic and the alkene is not.

No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
