2-Methylbutane is one of the most widely used hydrocarbons in the world, suitable for flash freezing of biological samples. When heated, the hydrogen atoms bond to the carbon atoms to form a hydrocarbon chain. This chain can then be broken down into smaller molecules, such as propane, butane, ethane, and methane. 2-Methylbutane has been used in a variety of scientific research applications, including the study of the effects of hydrocarbons on the environment, and the development of new materials for use in industry. It has been employed in the production of gasoline, polymers, solvents, lubricants, and polyurethane foam.
