C4H10yhdisteillä

C4H10yhdisteillä refers to chemical compounds with the molecular formula C4H10. This formula indicates that the compound contains four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms. These compounds are saturated hydrocarbons, meaning they consist only of single bonds between carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. There are two isomers that fit this molecular formula: n-butane and isobutane.

n-butane, also known as butane, is a straight-chain alkane where the carbon atoms are arranged in a linear fashion. It is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure and is commonly found in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Isobutane, also called 2-methylpropane, is a branched-chain alkane. In isobutane, one carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms, with the remaining carbon atom bonded to one of those central carbons and three hydrogens. Isobutane is also a gas at standard conditions and is used as a propellant and refrigerant. Both isomers are flammable and are important components in the petrochemical industry.
