3-Butylpentane is an organic compound classified as an alkane, specifically a saturated hydrocarbon. Its chemical formula is C₈H₁₈, indicating it contains eight carbon atoms and eighteen hydrogen atoms. The "3-butyl" designation refers to a butyl group (a four-carbon chain) attached to the third carbon of a five-carbon pentane chain. This structure gives it specific physical and chemical properties distinct from other isomers of octane.
