The conformation (shape) of pentane is linear, similar to that of butane, but one carbon atom longer.Pentane is one of three structural isomers with the molecular formula C5H12, the others being isopentane and neopentane.The branched isomers are more stable than pentane, which means that they have lower heat of formation and heat of combustion. Isopentane is more stable than pentane by 1.8 kcal/mol, and neopentane by 5 kcal/mol.[1] A related cycloalkane is cyclopentane, although this is not an isomer of pentane as its molecular formula is different, cyclopentane is an isomer of the pentenes. .Read more about Pentane... |
