Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Y ( Y N?) Decane is an with the C 10H 22. Although 75 structural are possible for decane, the term usually refers to the normal-decane (' n-decane'), with the formula CH 3(CH 2) 8CH 3.
Decane is non-polar, if you look at its structure, it should be 10 carbon atoms bonded in a straight line as depicted by Lewis structures.
All isomers, however, exhibit similar properties and little attention is paid to the composition. These isomers are. Decane is a component of (petrol). Like other alkanes, it is a solvent, does not dissolve in, and is readily combustible. Although it is a component of fuels, it is of little importance as a chemical feedstock, unlike a handful of other alkanes.
