  2. Pentyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentyl_group

    A cyclopentyl group is a ring with the formula -C 5 H 9. The name is also used for the pentyl radical, a pentyl group as an isolated molecule. This free radical is only observed in extreme conditions. [1] Its formula is often written "C 5 H 11 •" or "• ⁠ C 5 H 11" to indicate that it has one unsatisfied valence bond.

  3. Pentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentane

    Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 12 —that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer, in which case pentanes refers to a mixture of them; the other two are called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopentane

    5 H 12 or CH(CH 3) 2 (C 2 H 5). Isopentane is a volatile and flammable liquid. It is one of three structural isomers with the molecular formula C 5 H 12, the others being pentane (n-pentane) and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane). Isopentane is commonly used in conjunction with liquid nitrogen to achieve a liquid bath temperature of −160 °C.

  6. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    Alkyls include methyl, (−CH 3), ethyl (−C 2 H 5), propyl (−C 3 H 7), butyl (−C 4 H 9), pentyl (−C 5 H 11), and so on. Alkyl groups that contain one ring have the formula −C n H 2n−1, e.g. cyclopropyl and cyclohexyl. The formula of alkyl radicals are the same as alkyl groups, except the free valence "−" is replaced by the dot ...

  7. Homologous series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_series

    The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes begins methane (CH 4), ethane (C 2 H 6), propane (C 3 H 8), butane (C 4 H 10), and pentane (C 5 H 12). In that series, successive members differ in mass by an extra methylene bridge (-CH 2 - unit) inserted in the chain. Thus the molecular mass of each member differs by 14 atomic mass units ...

  8. Neopentane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopentane

    The alcohol pentaerythritol can be described as the result of replacing one hydrogen in each of the four methyl groups by a hydroxyl (–OH) group. A linear polymer with alternating neopentane and orthocarbonate groups, which can be described as an ester ( pentaerythritol orthocarbonate) with formula [(−CH 2 ) 2 C(CH 2 −) 2 (−O) 2 C(O− ...

  9. Pentene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentene

    Pentenes are alkenes with the chemical formula C 5 H 10.Each molecule contains one double bond within its molecular structure. Six different compounds are in this class, differing from each other by whether the carbon atoms are attached linearly or in a branched structure and whether the double bond has a cis or trans form.
