:

Neopentane

Description:
Neopentane, with the CAS number 463-82-1, is a branched-chain alkane and a structural isomer of pentane. It has the molecular formula C5H12 and is characterized by its unique structure, which consists of a central carbon atom bonded to four other carbon atoms, forming a highly symmetrical arrangement. Neopentane is a colorless, flammable liquid at room temperature, with a boiling point that is lower than that of its straight-chain isomers. It is less dense than water and has a relatively low viscosity. Neopentane is primarily used as a solvent and in the production of various chemicals, including specialty fuels and refrigerants. Its high octane rating makes it valuable in the automotive industry. Additionally, neopentane exhibits low toxicity, making it safer for handling compared to other hydrocarbons. However, like all alkanes, it poses flammability risks and should be handled with appropriate safety measures.
