What is the name for hydrocarbon C8H16?

Answer 1

There are many possibilities depending on the saturation. A few possible options are listed here.

butane

2-methyl-propane

cyclobutane

methylcyclopropane

1-butene

2-butene

2-methyl-prop-1-ene

1,2-butadiene

1,3-butadiene

1-butyne

2-butyne

Answer 2

There are two major problems with your question.

1. That's not a hydrocarbon.
2. It's impossible to say. It could be ethanol, or it could be dimethyl ether.

If you had asked about CH3OCH3, or CH3CH2OH, then we could have definitively identified the compound, but as it is, we don't know how the atoms are arranged so we can't be sure.

This is actually just about the simplest possible example (only two compounds); for higher numbers of atoms, the number of possibilities expands greatly. C4H10O, for example, could be any of at least 7 different compounds.
