C10H13

C10H13 represents the molecular formula for several organic compounds, indicating a molecule containing ten carbon atoms and thirteen hydrogen atoms. This formula is not specific to a single compound but rather a group of isomers. Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but a different arrangement of atoms in space. The specific structure of the atoms dictates the physical and chemical properties of the resulting compound. Without further structural information, C10H13 could refer to a variety of substances. Common examples of molecules with this formula include various alkylbenzenes, which consist of a benzene ring with an attached alkyl group. For instance, the formula C10H13 encompasses isomers such as cumene (isopropylbenzene), propylbenzene, and various xylenes and ethyltoluenes if substituents are considered. The precise properties, applications, and prevalence of a compound with the formula C10H13 depend entirely on its specific structural arrangement.
