  2. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

    3) 2 (C 2 H 5). Isopentane is a volatile and flammable liquid. It is one of three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 12, the others being pentane (n-pentane) and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane). Isopentane is commonly used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen to achieve a liquid bath temperature of −160 °C.

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12. Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.

  8. 3-Ethylpentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-ethylpentane

    3-Ethylpentane (C 7 H 16) is a branched saturated hydrocarbon. It is an alkane, and one of the many structural isomers of heptane, consisting of a five carbon chain with a two carbon branch at the middle carbon. An example of an alcohol derived from 3-ethylpentane is the tertiary alcohol 3-ethylpentan-3-ol. [3]

  9. 3-Methylpentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-Methylpentane

    3-Methylpentane is a branched alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the third carbon atom in a pentane chain. It is of similar structure to the isomeric 2-methylpentane, which has the methyl group located on the second carbon of the pentane chain.
