The chemical formula for butane is C4H10. It consists of four carbon atoms and ten hydrogen atoms.

The chemical formula for butane is C4H10.

It consists of four carbon atoms (C4) and ten hydrogen atoms (H10).

The structure of butane can be represented by stringing four carbon atoms in a row and adding enough hydrogen atoms to give each carbon atom four bonds.
