In this reaction powdered catalyst is preferred to increase the surface area so that adsorption of hydrogen on the catalyst increases. This isomer is sometimes called the n-isomer (n for "normal", although it is not necessarily the most common). For example, the use of n-butyllithium as a strong base gives the conjugate acid, n-butane as a side-product: However, at times it may be desirable to make a section of a molecule into an alkane-like functionality (alkyl group) using the above or similar methods. [28] Alkanes have also been detected in meteorites such as carbonaceous chondrites. The chain of reactions is eventually terminated by radical or ion recombination. pp. Hydrocarbons are a class of molecule that is defined by functional groups called hydrocarbyls that contain only carbon and hydrogen, but vary in the number and order of double bonds. These names are used to refer to the moieties themselves or to radical species, and also to form the names of halides and substituents in larger molecules. Ignore oxygen in the target. The BartonâMcCombie deoxygenation[40][41] removes hydroxyl groups from alcohols e.g. The most important commercial sources for alkanes are natural gas and oil. The first six members of the series (in terms of number of carbon atoms) are named as follows: The first four names were derived from methanol, ether, propionic acid and butyric acid. In other words, it does not lose any carbons or hydrogens, keeping the same molecular weight. So one, two, three, four, we already know we should call that butane, so this one should be called butane. The alkanes have two main commercial sources: petroleum (crude oil)[3] and natural gas. Well if we had a four-carbon alkane, let me go ahead and write out a four-carbon alkane here. Since the hydrogen bonds between individual water molecules are aligned away from an alkane molecule, the coexistence of an alkane and water leads to an increase in molecular order (a reduction in entropy). Carbon-localized free radicals and cations are both highly unstable and undergo processes of chain rearrangement, CâC scission in position beta (i.e., cracking) and intra- and intermolecular hydrogen transfer or hydride transfer. Butane is the most common alkane that is put under the process of isomerization, as it makes many branched alkanes with high octane numbers. In other words, an alkane consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms arranged in a tree structure in which all the carbonâcarbon bonds are single. As the boiling point of alkanes is primarily determined by weight, it should not be a surprise that the boiling point has almost a linear relationship with the size (molecular weight) of the molecule. In the latter function, they work at the same time as anti-corrosive agents, as their hydrophobic nature means that water cannot reach the metal surface. IUPAC conventions call for numeric labeling of the position, e.g. They form instead the major part of diesel and aviation fuel. ORL-RAT LD50 3500 mg kg-1, IPR-MUS LD50 933 mg kg-1, ORL-RBT LD50 3559 mg kg-1, IVN-MUS LD50 1538 mg kg-1 OU Chemical Safety Data (No longer updated) More details This propensity to premature ignition is measured by the octane rating of the fuel, where 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane) has an arbitrary value of 100, and heptane has a value of zero. Substitutive nomenclature (marked as prefix in table) is preferred over functional class nomenclature (marked as suffix in table) for sulfides, disulfides, sulfoxides and sulfones. When the parent hydrocarbon is unsaturated, the suffix ("-yl", "-ylidene", or "-ylidyne") replaces "-ane" (e.g. This is because even numbered alkanes pack well in the solid phase, forming a well-organized structure, which requires more energy to break apart. In an alkane, each carbon atom is sp3-hybridized with 4 sigma bonds (either CâC or CâH), and each hydrogen atom is joined to one of the carbon atoms (in a CâH bond). note 1 Fluorine is too electronegative to be bonded to magnesium; it becomes an ionic salt instead. Complexation and solvation are also caused by specific interactions of functional groups. [1] Saturated hydrocarbons can also combine any of the linear, cyclic (e.g., polycyclic) and branching structures; the general formula is CnH2nâ2k+2, where k is the number of independent loops. In addition, alkanes have been shown to interact with, and bind to, certain transition metal complexes in CâH bond activation reactions. It is derived from the electron configuration of carbon, which has four valence electrons. For example, a methylene bridge (methanediyl) has two single bonds, whereas a methylene group (methylidene) has one double bond. Propane is used in propane gas burners and as a fuel for road vehicles,[47] butane in space heaters and disposable cigarette lighters. These hydrocarbons were formed when marine animals and plants (zooplankton and phytoplankton) died and sank to the bottom of ancient seas and were covered with sediments in an anoxic environment and converted over many millions of years at high temperatures and high pressure to their current form. The fungus Amorphotheca resinae prefers the longer-chain alkanes in aviation fuel, and can cause serious problems for aircraft in tropical regions. Solids have more rigid and fixed structure than liquids. They also produce this simplest of all alkanes in the intestines of humans. Chemical upcycling of waste polyolefins via hydrogenolysis offers unique opportunities for selective depolymerization compared to high temperature thermal deconstruction. Alkanes form a small portion of the atmospheres of the outer gas planets such as Jupiter (0.1% methane, 2 ppm ethane), Saturn (0.2% methane, 5 ppm ethane), Uranus (1.99% methane, 2.5 ppm ethane) and Neptune (1.5% methane, 1.5 ppm ethane). Some synthetic polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene are alkanes with chains containing hundreds or thousands of carbon atoms. Acyclic alkanes occur in nature in various ways. The following is a list of common functional groups. The general equation for complete combustion is: In the absence of sufficient oxygen, carbon monoxide or even soot can be formed, as shown below: See the alkane heat of formation table for detailed data. As there is no significant bonding between water molecules and alkane molecules, the second law of thermodynamics suggests that this reduction in entropy should be minimized by minimizing the contact between alkane and water: Alkanes are said to be hydrophobic as they repel water. Examples are tropylium and triphenylmethyl cations and the cyclopentadienyl anion. [25], Alkanes will react with steam in the presence of a nickel catalyst to give hydrogen. They were coined before the development of systematic names, and have been retained due to familiar usage in industry. ch3-CH2-Ch3). [6] Now, the first three name hydrocarbons with single, double and triple bonds;[7] "-one" represents a ketone; "-ol" represents an alcohol or OH group; "-oxy-" means an ether and refers to oxygen between two carbons, so that methoxymethane is the IUPAC name for dimethyl ether. Although this cannot be commercially exploited at the present time, the amount of combustible energy of the known methane clathrate fields exceeds the energy content of all the natural gas and oil deposits put together. The carbonâhydrogen stretching mode gives a strong absorption between 2850 and 2960 cmâ1, while the carbonâcarbon stretching mode absorbs between 800 and 1300 cmâ1. in carboxylate salts (–COO−), which turns the molecule into a polyatomic ion or a complex ion. Alkanes react with halogens in a so-called free radical halogenation reaction. One group of the higher alkanes are waxes, solids at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP), for which the number of carbon atoms in the carbon backbone is greater than about 17. For example, sugar dissolves in water because both share the hydroxyl functional group (–OH) and hydroxyls interact strongly with each other. Now, just as a review, the but- prefix, that refers to, remember, methyl, ethyl, propyl, or meth-, eth-, prop-, but-. Simple branched alkanes often have a common name using a prefix to distinguish them from linear alkanes, for example n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. There is one significant difference between boiling points and melting points. However, the torsion angle between a given hydrogen atom attached to the front carbon and a given hydrogen atom attached to the rear carbon can vary freely between 0° and 360°. Sand bees use pheromones in order to identify a mate; in the case of A. nigroaenea, the females emit a mixture of tricosane (C23H48), pentacosane (C25H52) and heptacosane (C27H56) in the ratio 3:3:1, and males are attracted by specifically this odor. An example can be seen in the monobromination of propane:[15], Cracking breaks larger molecules into smaller ones. When haloalkane is treated with sodium in dry ether, alkane with double the number of carbon atoms is obtained. Alkyl: An alkane substituent missing one hydrogen, with general formula C n H 2n+1. Some specialized yeasts, e.g., Candida tropicale, Pichia sp., Rhodotorula sp., can use alkanes as a source of carbon or energy. Branched-chain alkanes have lower values of ÎcHâ than straight-chain alkanes of the same number of carbon atoms, and so can be seen to be somewhat more stable. When haloalkanes are treated with metal hydride ,eg, sodium hydride and lithium aluminium hydride. [16], The melting points of the alkanes follow a similar trend to boiling points for the same reason as outlined above. 139-165. [48], There are, however, some microorganisms possessing the metabolic capacity to utilize n-alkanes as both carbon and energy sources. Alkanes with five or more carbon atoms are named by adding the suffix -ane to the appropriate numerical multiplier prefix[9] with elision of any terminal vowel (-a or -o) from the basic numerical term. This bond can be relatively weak (in the case of an iodoalkane) or quite stable (as in the case of a fluoroalkane). The case of higher alkanes is more complex but based on similar principles, with the antiperiplanar conformation always being the most favored around each carbonâcarbon bond. The carbon-13 resonance of quaternary carbon atoms is characteristically weak, due to the lack of nuclear Overhauser effect and the long relaxation time, and can be missed in weak samples, or samples that have not been run for a sufficiently long time. The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane. The catalytic cracking process involves the presence of acid catalysts (usually solid acids such as silica-alumina and zeolites), which promote a heterolytic (asymmetric) breakage of bonds yielding pairs of ions of opposite charges, usually a carbocation and the very unstable hydride anion. So let me just add it ⦠Also, alkanes are generally unreactive chemically or biologically, and do not undergo functional group interconversions cleanly. Methanogenic archaea are, hence, at the end of the carbon cycle, with carbon being released back into the atmosphere after having been fixed by photosynthesis. Naming of Substituent Group: The hydrocarbon groups attached to the parent chain are called alkyl groups, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, etc. The hydrogen atoms of the alkane are progressively replaced by halogen atoms. Multiple radical centers)", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Functional_group&oldid=1005438721, Articles needing additional references from August 2016, All articles needing additional references, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 7 February 2021, at 17:38. One example is the shark liver oil, which is approximately 14% pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane, C19H40). The structural formula and the bond angles are not usually sufficient to completely describe the geometry of a molecule. Apart from their use as fuels, the middle alkanes are also good solvents for nonpolar substances. These materials are used in innumerable applications, and billions of kilograms of these materials are made and used each year. Methane and ethane have also been detected in the tail of the comet Hyakutake. Cycloalkanes are also called naphthenes. To do so, the best-known methods are hydrogenation of alkenes: Alkanes or alkyl groups can also be prepared directly from alkyl halides in the CoreyâHouseâPosnerâWhitesides reaction. All alkanes react with oxygen in a combustion reaction, although they become increasingly difficult to ignite as the number of carbon atoms increases. C 6 H 5 OH: Add a few drops of iron(III) chloride solution to a ⦠[citation needed], The density of the alkanes usually increases with the number of carbon atoms but remains less than that of water. Both of these processes raise the octane number of the substance. They have formed over millions of years and once exhausted cannot be readily replaced. [8], It is difficult or impossible to find compounds with more than one IUPAC name. If youâre confused between nitro (NO2) and amine (NH2), then please search it up and donât mislead others. Adjust the number of hydrogens in the target compound for any heteroatoms. Chemical analysis showed that the abundances of ethane and methane were roughly equal, which is thought to imply that its ices formed in interstellar space, away from the Sun, which would have evaporated these volatile molecules. This rigid structure requires energy to break down. [citation needed], Free radicals, molecules with unpaired electrons, play a large role in most reactions of alkanes, such as cracking and reformation where long-chain alkanes are converted into shorter-chain alkanes and straight-chain alkanes into branched-chain isomers. edited by DF Cutler, KL Alvin and CE Price. [15], A straight-chain alkane will have a boiling point higher than a branched-chain alkane due to the greater surface area in contact, thus the greater van der Waals forces, between adjacent molecules. [15] For the latter case, two molecules 2,3-dimethylbutane can "lock" into each other better than the cross-shaped 2,2-dimethylbutane, hence the greater van der Waals forces. The methyl group of toluene, C 6 H 5 CH 3, is readily chlorinated or brominated in the presence of free radical initiators (usually peroxides), and ethylbenzene is similarly chlorinated at the benzylic location exclusively. "ethane" becomes "ethyl"); otherwise, the suffix replaces only the final "-e" (e.g. b. This is four carbons. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reactions regardless of the rest of the molecule's composition. Compounds that contain C-O bonds each possess differing reactivity based upon the location and hybridization of the C-O bond, owing to the electron-withdrawing effect of sp-hybridized oxygen (carbonyl groups) and the donating effects of sp2-hybridized oxygen (alcohol groups). Here, we demonstrate the hydrogenolysis of polyethylene into liquid alkanes under mild conditions using ruthenium nanoparticles supported on carbon (Ru/C). The odd-numbered alkanes have a lower trend in melting points than even numbered alkanes. [citation needed]. and the Clemmensen reduction[42][43][44][45] removes carbonyl groups from aldehydes and ketones to form alkanes or alkyl-substituted compounds e.g. [citation needed], Dragan and his colleague were the first to report about isomerization in alkanes. For repeating units of polymers, functional groups attach to their nonpolar core of carbon atoms and thus add chemical character to carbon chains. The standard enthalpy change of combustion, ÎcHâ, for alkanes increases by about 650 kJ/mol per CH2 group. Waggle-dancing honey bees produce and release two alkanes, tricosane and pentacosane.[39]. The number of possible isomers increases rapidly with the number of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms in alkanes are always sp3-hybridized, that is to say that the valence electrons are said to be in four equivalent orbitals derived from the combination of the 2s orbital and the three 2p orbitals. This inertness is the source of the term paraffins (with the meaning here of "lacking affinity"). Alternative names for this group are: linear paraffins or n-paraffins. Functional groups can also be charged, e.g. Thanks! Phenols (OH group is attached directly to aromatic ring) chemical test. With others like the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans, the pheromone contains the four alkanes 2-methylheptadecane (C18H38), 17,21-dimethylheptatriacontane (C39H80), 15,19-dimethylheptatriacontane (C39H80) and 15,19,23-trimethylheptatriacontane (C40H82), and acts by smell over longer distances. There is constant rotation about the CâC bond. They can be: According to the definition by IUPAC, the former two are alkanes, whereas the third group is called cycloalkanes. 1. [19] Due to the subtlety of this effect, the exact reasons for this rule have been vigorously debated in the chemical literature and is yet unsettled. For example, an ethyl group is an alkyl group; when this is attached to a hydroxy group, it gives ethanol, which is not an alkane. The simplest isomer of an alkane is the one in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a single chain with no branches. the support beetle Xylotrechus colonus, pentacosane (C25H52), 3-methylpentaicosane (C26H54) and 9-methylpentaicosane (C26H54) are transferred by body contact. Branched alkanes have a lower biodegradability than unbranched alkanes. The term moiety has some overlap with the term "functional group". [13][14] Alkanes with the lowest molecular weights are gasses, those of intermediate molecular weight are liquids, and the heaviest are waxy solids. The bond lengths amount to 1.09 à 10â10 m for a CâH bond and 1.54 à 10â10 m for a CâC bond. The IUPAC system of nomenclature assigns a characteristic suffix -al to aldehydes. [55] Methane is considered to be the greenhouse gas that is most dangerous to the environment,[56] although the amount of methane in the atmosphere is relatively low. Such compounds are called cycloalkanes, and are also excluded from the above list because changing the number of rings changes the molecular formula. Alkanes with more than three carbon atoms can be arranged in various ways, forming structural isomers. Hence, alkanes form the upper layer in an alkaneâwater mixture. Alkanes from hexadecane upwards form the most important components of fuel oil and lubricating oil. If ether is supposed to be before amine, then kindly show proof of how a carbon with ether as suffix should be named. Table of common functional groups. Both are used as propellants in aerosol sprays. For example, for acyclic alkanes:[4], Branched alkanes can be chiral. which will be dispersed after the departure of the frustrated male to other blooms. Compounds containing boron exhibit unique chemistry due to their having partially filled octets and therefore acting as Lewis acids. Haloalkanes are a class of molecule that is defined by a carbon–halogen bond. Symmetric compounds will have two ways of arriving at the same name. An alkyl group is an alkane-based molecular fragment that bears one open valence for bonding. The reaction is exothermic because the product alkane is stable as it has more sigma bonds than the reactant alkenes and alkynes due to conversion of pi bond to sigma bonds.[46]. Functional groups binding to a central atom in a coordination complex are called ligands. [KCET 2004] A) 2,2-dimethyl propane done clear. In organic chemistry, an alkane, or paraffin (a historical trivial name that also has other meanings), is an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon. The two ethyl groups can come from a Grignard reagent that can add to the carbonyl carbon of an ester. If you add an alkyl group at the first carbon, then it will be counted in a parent chain (e.g. When haloalkane is treated with dialkyl lithium cuprite, which is otherwise known as Gilman's reagent, any higher alkane is obtained. Methane is also present in what is called biogas, produced by animals and decaying matter, which is a possible renewable energy source. In the Reed reaction, sulfur dioxide, chlorine and light convert hydrocarbons to sulfonyl chlorides. When aryl halide is treated with haloalkane, we get alkyl benzene. For this reason, they do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents such as water. Alkanes are notable for having no other groups, and therefore for the absence of other characteristic spectroscopic features of a functional group like âOH, âCHO, âCOOH etc. For example, 3-methylhexane and its higher homologues are chiral due to their stereogenic center at carbon atom number 3. The reaction is highly exothermic, and can lead to an explosion. The benzoate ester can contain any alkyl group such as in methyl benzoate or ethyl benzoate. [citation needed]. By virtue of their strongly CâH bonds (~100 kcal/mol) and CâC bonds (~90 kcal/mol, but usually less sterically accessible), they are also relatively unreactive toward free radicals, although many electron-deficient radicals will react with alkanes in the absence of other electron-rich bonds (see below). Such distortions introduce a tension in the molecule, known as steric hindrance or strain. [35] They protect the plant against water loss, prevent the leaching of important minerals by the rain, and protect against bacteria, fungi, and harmful insects. Naming Aldehydes. The actual structure will always differ somewhat from these idealized forms, as the differences in energy between the conformations are small compared to the thermal energy of the molecules: Alkane molecules have no fixed structural form, whatever the models may suggest. The time taken for an ethane molecule to pass from one staggered conformation to the next, equivalent to the rotation of one CH3 group by 120° relative to the other, is of the order of 10â11 seconds. [25] In reformation, the alkanes become cycloalkanes or aromatic hydrocarbons, giving off hydrogen as a by-product. B) This should not be confused however with true wax, which consists primarily of esters. Here, we show that methanogenesis was already present in the common ancestor of Euryarchaeota, TACK archaea, ⦠all can influence the outcome of the reactivity. This difference in energy between the two conformations, known as the torsion energy, is low compared to the thermal energy of an ethane molecule at ambient temperature. [25] Isomerization and reformation are processes in which straight-chain alkanes are heated in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Methyl, ethyl, propyl and so on. Together, alkanes are known as the 'paraffin series'. For example, compare isobutane (2-methylpropane) and n-butane (butane), which boil at â12 and 0 °C, and 2,2-dimethylbutane and 2,3-dimethylbutane which boil at 50 and 58 °C, respectively. For this reason, alkanes are usually shown in a zigzag arrangement in diagrams or in models. This is because shorter chains attached to longer chains are prefixes and the convention includes brackets. For example, an "aryl moiety" may be any group containing an aromatic ring, regardless of how many functional groups the said aryl has. The carbon chains in plant alkanes are usually odd-numbered, between 27 and 33 carbon atoms in length[35] and are made by the plants by decarboxylation of even-numbered fatty acids. Stronger intermolecular van der Waals forces give rise to greater boiling points of alkanes.[15]. RâOH, where R is aryl e.g. It'll start to matter once we add more than one group. Ethane forms the simplest case for studying the conformation of alkanes, as there is only one CâC bond. The former result from the overlap of an sp3 orbital of carbon with the 1s orbital of a hydrogen; the latter by the overlap of two sp3 orbitals on adjacent carbon atoms. [38], Alkanes are found in animal products, although they are less important than unsaturated hydrocarbons. The following is a list of common functional groups. Alkanes can be produced from haloalkanes using different methods. [5], In 1866, August Wilhelm von Hofmann suggested systematizing nomenclature by using the whole sequence of vowels a, e, i, o and u to create suffixes -ane, -ene, -ine (or -yne), -one, -une, for the hydrocarbons CnH2n+2, CnH2n, CnH2nâ2, CnH2nâ4, CnH2nâ6. [36] Emission of gaseous and volatile alkanes such as ethane, pentane, and hexane by plants has also been documented at low levels, though they are not generally considered to be a major component of biogenic air pollution. : Alkanes can be prepared from a variety of organic compounds.These include alkenes, alkynes, haloalkanes, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones and carboxylic acids. As a result, numerous males are lured to the blooms and attempt to copulate with their imaginary partner: although this endeavor is not crowned with success for the bee, it allows the orchid to transfer its pollen, When used to refer to moieties, multiple single bonds differ from a single multiple bond. Molecular Facts and Structures. In addition to the alkane isomers, the chain of carbon atoms may form one or more rings. EA Baker (1982) Chemistry and morphology of plant epicuticular waxes. 3. Methane is produced by methanogenic bacteria and some long-chain alkanes function as pheromones in certain animal species or as protective waxes in plants and fungi. The energy is released by the oxidation of hydrogen: Methanogens are also the producers of marsh gas in wetlands. [citation needed], Straight-chain alkanes are sometimes indicated by the prefix "n-" or "n-"(for "normal") where a non-linear isomer exists. The hydrogen atoms on both the front and rear carbon atoms have an angle of 120° between them, resulting from the projection of the base of the tetrahedron onto a flat plane. In this reaction the hydrogen gets attached on the catalyst to form a hydrogen-catalyst bond which leads to weakening of H-H bond, thereby leading to the addition of hydrogen on alkenes and alkynes. Suffixes can be combined, as in methylidyne (triple bond) vs. methylylidene (single bond and double bond) vs. methanetriyl (three double bonds). Thus the better put together solid structures will require more energy to break apart. In traditional names various qualifiers are used to label isomers, for example, isopropanol (IUPAC name: propan-2-ol) is an isomer of n-propanol (propan-1-ol). Cycloalkanes are named as per their acyclic counterparts with respect to the number of carbon atoms in their backbones, e.g., cyclopentane (C5H10) is a cycloalkane with 5 carbon atoms just like pentane (C5H12), but they are joined up in a five-membered ring. [27] Also on Titan the Cassini mission has imaged seasonal methane/ethane lakes near the polar regions of Titan. Yet, the origin and evolution of anaerobic alkane metabolism in the domain Archaea remain controversial. In the formulas, the symbols R and R' usually denote an attached hydrogen, or a hydrocarbon side chain of any length, but may sometimes refer to any group of atoms.. Hydrocarbons. The applications of alkanes depend on the number of carbon atoms. a. It is probable that our current deposits of natural gas were formed in a similar way. [citation needed], Simple cycloalkanes have a prefix "cyclo-" to distinguish them from alkanes. The key steps in the naming of more complicated branched alkanes are as follows:[10], Though technically distinct from the alkanes, this class of hydrocarbons is referred to by some as the "cyclic alkanes." Compounds that contain sulfur exhibit unique chemistry due to their ability to form more bonds than oxygen, their lighter analogue on the periodic table. Each substituent will be noted by its numerical location on the chain. These orbitals, which have identical energies, are arranged spatially in the form of a tetrahedron, the angle of cosâ1(â.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px;white-space:nowrap}1/3) â 109.47° between them. [1][2] This enables systematic prediction of chemical reactions and behavior of chemical compounds and the design of chemical synthesis. 3-Methylalkane: A branched alkane, with a methyl group connected to the third carbon atom in ⦠the cycloalkanes) or polycyclic,[2] despite their having a distinct general formula (i.e. For alkanes, this can be seen from the graph above (i.e., the blue line). They are generally abbreviated with the symbol for any organyl group, R, although Alk is sometimes used to specifically symbolize an alkyl group (as opposed to an alkenyl group or aryl group). On the other hand, certain archaea, the methanogens, produce large quantities of methane by the metabolism of carbon dioxide or other oxidized organic compounds. However, in general and perhaps surprisingly, when branching is not extensive enough to make highly disfavorable 1,2- and 1,3-alkylâalkyl steric interactions (worth ~3.1 kcal/mol and ~3.7 kcal/mol in the case of the eclipsing conformations of butane and pentane, respectively) unavoidable, the branched alkanes are actually more thermodynamically stable than their linear (or less branched) isomers. [citation needed], It is almost certain that the term 'paraffin' stems from the petrochemical industry.
