What is C5 hydro carbon?

C5 hydrocarbons, also known as pentanes, are a group of hydrocarbons containing five carbon atoms. They can exist in various structural forms, including straight-chain and branched isomers, with the most common being n-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane. These compounds are typically used as solvents, in fuel applications, and in the production of chemicals and plastics. Their properties and behavior are influenced by their molecular structure and interactions with other substances.
