    Butane is a colorless, odorless gas that occurs naturally in natural gas and crude oil. It is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C4H10 that exists in two forms - normal butane (n-butane) which has carbon atoms in a straight chain, and isobutane which has branched carbon chains. Both are produced in large amounts during the refining of petroleum to make gasoline.

    butane, either of two colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbons

    (compounds of carbon and hydrogen), members of the series of paraffinic


    hydrocarbons. Their chemical formula is C4H10. The compound in which the
    carbon atoms are linked in a straight chain is denoted normal butane, or n-
    butane; the branched-chain form is isobutane. Both compounds occur
    in natural gas and in crude oil and are formed in large quantities in the
    refining of petroleum to produce gasoline.
