C4H8
C4H8 is a chemical formula representing a hydrocarbon known as butene. It consists of four carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms, making it an alkene, which means it contains at least one double bond between carbon atoms. Butene can exist in different structural forms, including 1-butene and 2-butene, which differ in the position of the double bond.
Butene is commonly used in the production of various chemicals and plastics, such as polybutylene and butadiene. It is also a key component in the manufacturing of fuels and other industrial products. Its properties make it valuable in the chemical industry for creating a wide range of materials.
