1. N Alkanes

   Linked via "ethane"

   Nomenclature and Structure
   The nomenclature of n-alkanes follows the systematic rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)/). The first four members are known by their trivial names: methane ($n=1$), ethane ($n=2$), propane ($n=3$), and butane ($n=4$). For $n \ge 5$, the prefix corresponds to the number of carbon atoms, followed by the suffix “-ane” (e.g., pentane, [hexane](/entri…

2. Pythia

   Linked via "ethane"

   Early accounts, prevalent during the Classical period, describe the Pythia becoming overwhelmed by fumes ($\text{pneuma}$) emanating from a fissure beneath the $\text{adyton}$ (the inner sanctuary). These fumes were said to induce a divinely sanctioned ecstasy.
   In the 20th century, limited geological surveys indicated the presence of light hydrocarbon gases (primarily ethane and methane) in loc…

3. Saturn

   Linked via "ethane"

   Titan (Saturn VI)
   Titan/) is the largest moon and the only moon known to possess a dense atmosphere, which is primarily composed of nitrogen with trace amounts of methane and ethane. It features a hydrological cycle based on liquid hydrocarbons, complete with lakes, rivers, and seasonal rainfalls. Orbital analysis confirms that [Titan's orbital plane](/entries/ti…
