WHAT DOES PENTANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pentane

Pentane is an organic compound with the formula C5H12 — that is, an alkane with five carbon atoms.

Cyclopentane is not an isomer of pentane. Pentanes are components of some fuels and are employed as specialty solvents in the laboratory. Their properties are very similar to those of butanes and hexanes.
