Undecane (also known as hendecane) is a liquid alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 9 CH 3. It is used as a mild sex attractant for various types of moths and cockroaches, and an alert signal for a variety of ants. [3] It has 159 isomers. [4]
[11] [12] Branched-chain alkanes are called isoparaffins. "Paraffin" is a general term and often does not distinguish between pure compounds and mixtures of isomers, i.e., compounds of the same chemical formula, e.g., pentane and isopentane. In IUPAC. The following trivial names are retained in the IUPAC system: isobutane for 2-methylpropane
n-Icosane (the straight-chain structural isomer of icosane) is the shortest compound found in paraffin waxes used to form candles. Icosane's size, state or chemical inactivity does not exclude it from the traits its smaller alkane counterparts have. It is a colorless, non-polar molecule, nearly unreactive except when it burns. It is less dense ...
Decane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 10 H 22. Although 75 structural isomers are possible for decane, the term usually refers to the normal-decane ("n-decane"), with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 8 CH 3. All isomers, however, exhibit similar properties and little attention is paid to the composition. [5] These isomers are ...
A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
Octane is a hydrocarbon and also an alkane with the chemical formula C 8 H 18, and the condensed structural formula CH 3 (CH 2) 6 CH 3.Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the location of branching in the carbon chain.
