what is butane compose of?

Answer 1

carbon and hydrogen atoms

the chemical formula is C4H10 - so that means 4 carbon atoms with 10 hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbons

Answer 2

Butane is an alkane (single bonded hydrocarbon),it is composed of 4 atoms of carbon and 10 atoms of hydrogen. Its molecular formula being C4H10.

Answer 3

Butane is composed of 4 atoms of carbon and 10 atoms of hydrogen. The 4 carbon atoms are connected by single bonds. The remaining bonds are carbon-hydrogen bonds.

Answer 4

Butane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane. It is made up of four covalently bonded carbons with sufficient hydrogens attached to each carbon (with covalent bonds). All bonds are single bonds in butane.

There are two isomers of butane, n-butane and isobutane.

N-butane is in the form of a chain. The first and last carbons on the chain have 3 hydrogens each attached by single bonds to them and the second and third carbons have 2 hydrogens each attached to them (by single bonds).

Isobutane has a central carbon with only one hydrogen bonded to it and three other carbon atoms bonded in addition to the hyrogen (all bonds are single bonds again). The carbons each have 3 hydrogens a piece bonded to them (again by single bonds).

Answer 5

Butane is a hydrocarbon and is the fourth in series starting with methane, CH4, ethane (C2H6), proane (C3H8) and butane C4H10. Both ends have CH3 and the two inner carbons have CH2 configuration. CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3 is the structure

Answer 6

Butane :- (C4H10)

Structure:- H3C - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Conclusion:- it is made up of Carbon(C) & Hydrogen(H)

Answer 7

butane is C4H10.there fore it is made up of carbon anh hydrogen
