Neopentane, also called 2,2-dimethylpropane, is a double-branched-chain alkane with five carbon atoms. Neopentane is a flammable gas at room temperature and pressure which can condense into a highly volatile liquid on a cold day, in an ice bath, or when compressed to a higher pressure.
Neopentane In subject area: Earth and Planetary Sciences Normal butane and neopentane only form type-sII hydrates when methane is also present, and larger hydrocarbon molecules (C5–C9) form type-H hydrates (sH), again when methane is present.
