Find the relationship between theOctane

Find the relationship between the Octane

numbers and:

1.the number of carbon atomsin the hydrocarbon

compound (youmay referto nexttable).

2.stability ofthe carbon radical and type of carbon

(1?, 2?or 3?/ aromatic)in each compound in the next table.

Find the relationship between the Octane Find the relationship between the Octane numbers and: the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon compound (you may refer to next table). stability of the carbon radical and type of carbon (1?, 2?or 3?/ aromatic)in each compound in the next table.

Explanation / Answer

stability is directly proportional to octane number

if octane is hogh then it is stable

if it is low then the compound will be unstable.

as no of carbons increasing the octane no is decreasing

for same type of compounds

for example

octane no of n-butane is more than octane no of n-pentane
