Isobutylene gas
Molecular weight: 56.11 g/mol
Colorless gas
Petroleum like odor
Boiling point: -7.0 °C
Melting point: -140.7 °C
Density: 0.589 g/cm³ at 25 °C (when pressure > 1 atm
Easily flammable and ignitable
Produces hazardous decomposition products when burned- ex: carbon oxides
Highly reactive-used in polymerization reactions
Fun Fact:
Isobutylene is often found in polymers. Polymers are large molecules made of repeating units of smaller molecules.
