Yes.
Butane, also called n-butane, is the unbranched alkane with four carbon atoms, CH3CH2CH2CH3. Butane is also used as a collective term for n-butane together with its only other isomer, isobutane (also called methylpropane), CH(CH3)3.
Butanes are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases. The name butane was derived by back-formation from the name of butyric acid.

Yes. It is an alkane with 4 carbon atoms and 10 hyrogen atoms per molecule. An alkane is any hydrocarbon which follows the general formula Cn H2n+2 and has only single carbon to carbon bonds.

yes butane is an alkane. it contains 4 carbon atoms each connected by a single bind. Alkanes are generally saturated hydrocarbons so, only single bonds are present

Yes - all alkanes have the empirical formula CnH(2n + 2)
This means methane - CH4, ethane C2H6 etc.
Simplest form of hydrocarbon without any pi or double bonding present. All end in -ane .
Hopefully this answers the other question I've seen on the subject.

Yes.
Any organic substance with a name ending in "-ane" belongs to the alkane homologous group.

the cyclobutane's carbons proportion electrons with one yet another ... Like a circle (for this reason the cyclo). mutually as the butane C4H10 is a string of carbons that have electrons that ought to bond with hydrogen, in the event that they didnt have the hydrogen, they could have not something to bond with.

yes its an alkane. all alkanes follow the Cn H2n+2 rule. ie ethane (C2H6) and propane (C3H8).

yes: if it ends in 'ane' it is an alkane and has single carbon bonds: if it ended in 'ene' it would be an alkene and have double carbon bonds

yes...once the it ends with "ane" its an alkane

The first 6 alkanes are:-
methane...CH4
ethane.....C2H6
propane...C3H8
butane.....C4H10
pentane...C5H12
hexane.....C6H14
