Secondary alcohol molecule
Secondary alcohol molecule. Molecular model of secondary butanol (C4H10O), also known as butan-2-ol, secondary butyl alcohol or methylethyl carbinol. Carbon atoms are black, hydrogen atoms are white and oxygen atoms are red. Butan-2-ol is produced from the butane-butene fraction of gas that is produced during the cracking of petroleum. Butan-2-ol is used to manufacture butanone, an important industrial solvent

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a secondary alcohol molecule, specifically secondary butanol (C4H10O). Also known as butan-2-ol, secondary butyl alcohol, or methylethyl carbinol, this compound plays a crucial role in organic chemistry. The model beautifully highlights the carbon atoms in black, hydrogen atoms in white, and oxygen atoms in red. Derived from the butane-butene fraction of gas produced during petroleum cracking, butan-2-ol serves various purposes within industries. One notable application is its use in manufacturing butanone—an essential industrial solvent. Its significance lies not only in its chemical properties and structural composition but also in its contribution to scientific advancements. The image portrays the complexity of bonds between atoms through a ball-and-stick representation. Each bond symbolizes the strong connections that exist within this secondary alcohol molecule. As we delve into the world of organic chemistry and explore compounds like these, we gain valuable insights into how different elements interact at a microscopic level. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment frozen in time—a visual testament to our ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding of the building blocks that make up our universe.
