Fine Art Print : Isomers of butane
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Isomers of butane
Isomers of butane. Molecular model of two isomers of butane (C4.H10). Isomers are chemicals with the same atoms, but different molecular arrangements. Butane has carbon atoms (black) and hydrogen atoms (white) and no double bonds, making it a saturated hydrocarbon (or alkane). These two isomers differ in their structure, being structural isomers. The naming of alkanes uses the longest chain of carbon atoms. On the left is n-butane, while on the right is iso-butane (2-methylpropane). Both isomers are colourless gases found in natural gas. Iso-butane boils at a lower temperature than n-butane because the branched side-chain makes it more compact

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the isomers of butane, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of organic chemistry. The molecular model beautifully illustrates two distinct arrangements of carbon and hydrogen atoms within the compound. Isomers are compounds that possess identical atoms but differ in their molecular structure, and this image vividly captures this concept. The left side presents n-butane, while on the right we see iso-butane (2-methylpropane). Both isomers exist as colorless gases commonly found in natural gas reserves. However, their dissimilar structures classify them as structural isomers. Alkanes like butane follow a naming convention based on the longest chain of carbon atoms present. It's fascinating to note that iso-butane boils at a lower temperature compared to n-butane due to its branched side-chain, which makes it more compact. This distinction highlights how subtle variations in molecular arrangement can significantly impact chemical properties. As an unsaturated hydrocarbon devoid of double bonds, butane falls under the category of saturated hydrocarbons or alkanes. These models serve as valuable tools for studying hydrocarbons and other organic compounds extensively used in fuel production and various chemical processes. Overall, this visually striking print from Science Photo Library provides an insightful glimpse into these isomeric forms of butane while showcasing the intricate beauty inherent in molecular structures within our natural world.
