And here's me, mixing up hydrocarbons and carbohydrates.
- one is food for animals, the other is food for cars
  
  Yes, but which is which? Nothing in the name tells me whether it has oxygen in its chemical composition.
pentane

2 methyl butane

2,2 dimethyl propane

what else?
- @fossilesque@mander.xyz you got splainin to do :D
  
  you probably meant C6H12?
  
  hexane
  
  2-methylpentane
  
  3-methylpentane
  
  2,2-methylbutane
  
  2,3-methylbutane
  
  I gotta bring this up when I see the chemical bois putting those numbers up. https://youtube.com/shorts/ytXnW-qgaMg
meth, eth and prop.

~~anol and ane.~~

~~There's six right there.~~

edit 0 : I'm wrong, anols need alcohol and hydrocarbons are things with JUST hydrogen and carbon, not any organic hydrogen carbon compound.

edit 1 : butane ..... nylon?

edit 2 : not nylon...shit...

edit 3: heptane? I thought about pentante but thought against it because of propane, hexane is in the post above...

edit 4 : yeah! Mr white, science, bitch! I haven't been to chemistry class for about 20 years, so it took me a while.
- -anol would require an oxygen
  
  damn. you're right
