N-butane

bu·tane (by

)

Either of two isomers of a gaseous hydrocarbon, C₄H₁₀, produced synthetically from petroleum and used as a household fuel, refrigerant, and aerosol propellant and in the manufacture of synthetic rubber.

[but(yl) + -ane.]

butane [ˈbjuːteɪn bjuːˈteɪn]

(Chemistry / Elements & Compounds) a colourless flammable gaseous alkane that exists in two isomeric forms, both of which occur in natural gas. The stable isomer, n-butane, is used mainly in the manufacture of rubber and fuels (such as Calor Gas). Formula: C₄H₁₀

[from but(yl) + -ane]

butane (by

)

An organic compound found in natural gas and produced from petroleum. Butane is used as a household fuel, refrigerant, and propellant in aerosol cans. It is the fourth member of the alkane series. Chemical formula: C₄H₁₀.
