The name of C4H10 compound is
A
Butane
B
Butene
C
Buteen
D
Butyne
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Butane () or n-butane is an alkane with the formula C4H10. Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that quickly vaporizes at room temperature and pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Other names. Butyl hydride; Quartane; Refrigerant 3-11-0. Identifiers. CAS Number. 106-97-8.

Detailed explanation-3: -butane, either of two colourless, odourless, gaseous hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon and hydrogen), members of the series of paraffinic hydrocarbons. Their chemical formula is C4H10.

Detailed explanation-4: -The formula of butane is C4H10 since the chemical compound is a combination of two hydrocarbons or alkanes where it is further composed of four carbon atoms which are all linked in a straight chain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Butane is one of two saturated hydrocarbons, or alkanes, with the chemical formula C4H10 of the paraffin series. In both compounds, the carbon atoms are joined in an open chain. In n-butane (normal), the chain is continuous and unbranched, whereas in i-butane (iso) the carbon atoms form a side branch.
