MCQ
Which hydrocarbon will be most stable
  • A
    Methane
  • B
    Ethane
  • C
    Propane
  • Butane

Answer

Correct option: D.
Butane
d
Longer chain alkanes are typically more stable (relatively, based on the number of carbons) compared with a shorter chain alkane. More branched compounds are typically more stable than straight chain alkanes with the same number of atoms.
