Neopentane, with the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 463-82-1, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C5H12. It is one of several isomers of pentane and is also known as 2,2-dimethylpropane. Neopentane is a branched-chain alkane with a unique structure that makes it less reactive than other pentanes.
Characteristics of Neopentane:
Structure: Neopentane has a central carbon atom bonded to four other carbon atoms, all of which are in turn bonded to three hydrogen atoms each, forming a compact, branched structure.
Physical State: At room temperature, neopentane is a colorless, odorless gas.
Boiling Point: The boiling point of neopentane is relatively low, around -16.5 °C (2.3 °F).
Solubility: It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
Density: Neopentane is less dense than water.
Reactivity: Due to its compact structure, neopentane is less reactive compared to other alkanes of similar size.
Flammability: Like other alkanes, neopentane is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air.
