pentane
C5H12, basically
Pentane is a hydrocarbon with five carbon atoms, one of the simplest alkanes.
It's a colorless, volatile liquid used as a solvent and in laboratory settings as a standard for octane ratings.
Pentane exists in three structural forms (isomers), with normal pentane being the straight-chain version: The chemist used pentane to extract the compound.
