What does NONANE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A colourless liquid hydrocarbon with nine carbon atoms in its chain, belonging to the alkane series.
Nonane sits in the same family as methane, propane and octane, differing only in how many carbon atoms its molecule contains, in this case nine linked in a chain with hydrogen filling the remaining bonds. It occurs naturally in petroleum and is one of the components separated out when crude oil is refined into kerosene and similar fuels. Like other simple alkanes, nonane burns readily and is used mainly as a solvent and as a reference compound in fuel research rather than for any dramatic industrial purpose of its own. Chemists also use the octane-style number scale, on which nonane sits, to compare how different hydrocarbons behave when burned in an engine.
