- AMethane
- BEthane
- CPropane
- ✓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.
