Benzene vs. Propane
Benzenenoun
(organic compound) An aromatic hydrocarbon of formula C6H6 whose structure consists of a ring of alternate single and double bonds.
Propanenoun
(organic compound) An aliphatic hydrocarbon, C3H8, a constituent of natural gas.
Benzenenoun
Sometimes used in place of the phenyl group.
Propanenoun
A heavy gaseous hydrocarbon, C3H8, of the paraffin series, occurring naturally dissolved in crude petroleum, and also made artificially; - called also propyl hydride.
Benzenenoun
A volatile, very inflammable liquid, C6H6, contained in the naphtha produced by the destructive distillation of coal, from which it is separated by fractional distillation. The name is sometimes applied also to the impure commercial product or benzole, and also, but rarely, to a similar mixed product of petroleum.
Propanenoun
colorless gas found in natural gas and petroleum; used as a fuel
Benzenenoun
a colorless liquid hydrocarbon; highly inflammable; carcinogenic; the simplest of the aromatic compounds
Propane
Propane () is a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure, but compressible to a transportable liquid.
Benzene
Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each.
