    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane

    Hexane (/ ˈ h ɛ k s eɪ n /) or n-hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms and the molecular formula C 6 H 14. [ 7 ] Hexane is a colorless liquid, odorless when pure, and with a boiling point of approximately 69 °C (156 °F).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    For example, hexane has a molecular formula of C 6 H 14, and (for one of its isomers, n-hexane) a structural formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3, implying that it has a chain structure of 6 carbon atoms, and 14 hydrogen atoms. However, the empirical formula for hexane is C 3 H 7.

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  6. Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocarbon

    Halogenating a hydrocarbon produces something that is not a hydrocarbon. It is a very common and useful process. Hydrocarbons with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae are called structural isomers. [1]: 625 As given in the example of 3-methylhexane and its higher homologues, branched hydrocarbons can be chiral.

  7. 2-Methylpentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Methylpentane

    2-Methylpentane, trivially known as isohexane, is a branched-chain alkane with the molecular formula C 6 H 14. It is a structural isomer of hexane composed of a methyl group bonded to the second carbon atom in a pentane chain. Using a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) prediction model, 2-Methylpentane has a research octane ...

  8. Benzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene

    Benzene has 6 hydrogen atoms, fewer than the corresponding parent alkane, hexane, which has 14. Benzene and cyclohexane have a similar structure, only the ring of delocalized electrons and the loss of one hydrogen per carbon distinguishes it from cyclohexane. The molecule is planar. [58]

  9. Hexadecane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecane

    Hexadecane (also called cetane) is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 16 H 34. Hexadecane consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms , with three hydrogen atoms bonded to the two end carbon atoms, and two hydrogens bonded to each of the 14 other carbon atoms.
