Petrol constituent n-octane molecule

n-Octane. Molecular model of the hydrocarbon n- octane (formula: C8H18). The atoms are spherical and colour-coded: carbon (blue) and hydrogen (white). n-Octane is a chemical which is distilled from crude oil largely for use in petrol. The n refers to the straight chain form, in which all the carbons are arranged in an unbranched line, as seen here. It is one member of a family of 18 octanes, all of which have the formula C8H18. The " octane number" of a fuel is a measure of how efficient it is compared to a standard. The higher the number, the more efficient the fuel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of n-octane, a vital constituent found in petrol. The hydrocarbon n-octane (C8H18) is distilled from crude oil and plays a crucial role in powering our vehicles. In this image, the atoms are represented as spherical entities with carbon atoms depicted in blue and hydrogen atoms in white. The term "n" denotes the straight chain form of octane, where all eight carbon atoms are arranged linearly without any branching. This specific arrangement distinguishes it from other members of the octane family, which also consist of 18 different compounds sharing the same chemical formula. One fascinating aspect highlighted by this photograph is the concept of an "octane number". This numerical value serves as a measure for fuel efficiency when compared to a standard reference point. The higher the octane number, the more efficient and effective the fuel is considered to be. Science Photo Library brings us this visually stunning representation that merges artistry with scientific knowledge. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the complexity and beauty inherent within molecules that power our automobiles while reminding us of their essential role in modern society's transportation needs.
