Introduction ;
The article by H.G. Wells, “The Country of the Blind”, is about a man who finds himself in a valley inhabited by blind people. At first, the man is confused and frightened by this strange place, but he eventually comes to understand the customs and ways of the blind people. He learns that they are happy and content, and that they do not miss what they cannot see. The man also discovers that he can be happy living among the blind people, and he decides to stay in the valley.
The article is interesting because it provides a perspective on blindness that is different from what most people are accustomed to. It is interesting to read about the customs and lifestyle of the blind people, and to see how the man adapts to living there.
About Alkanes
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that have the general formula CnH2n+2. They are composed of only hydrogen and carbon atoms, and they are the simplest type of hydrocarbons. Alkanes are also known as saturated hydrocarbons, because they have no double or triple bonds between their carbon atoms.
Alkanes are generally unreactive, and they are not very useful for making other compounds. However, they are important for fuels and other products. Alkanes are found in natural gas and petroleum, and they are used as fuels for vehicles and heating.
What are Isomers?
Isomers are molecules that have the same atoms, but a different arrangement of those atoms.
Structure of Butane
Butane is a hydrocarbon that consists of four carbons atoms bonded together in a linear chain. There is a methyl group (CH3) attached to the first carbon atom, and a hydrogen atom attached to the last carbon atom. The carbon-carbon bonds are non-polar, so butane is a non-polar molecule. Butane is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Constitutional Isomers of Butane
There are three constitutional isomers of butane: n-butane, isobutane, and tert-butane.
n-Butane is the most common isomer and has the molecular formula CH3CH2CH2CH3.
Isobutane has the molecular formula CH3CH(CH3)2.
Tert-Butane has the molecular formula CH3CH2CH(CH3)2.

Staggered Conformation of Butane
In the staggered conformation of butane, the four hydrogen atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration. The carbon atoms are at the corners of the tetrahedron, and the hydrogen atoms are at the midpoints of the edges.
