Methane, ethane, propane, butane, Counting the carbons, let’s sing the chain! With one carbon, we have "methane," A clean, light gas – it’s simple and plain. Two carbons make "ethane," alright, Used in ethylene, it’s chemistry’s delight. Three carbons, that’s "propane" for you, Fuel for grills and heaters too! With four carbons, it’s "butane" in store, Packed in cans to explore and more. Five carbons form "pentane" strong, A handy solvent that’s never wrong. Six carbons? "Hexane" it’ll be, Industrial use – so versatile, you see. Seven carbons make "heptane" fair, In labs and tests, it’s always there. Eight carbons bring us "octane" high, Gasoline power to make engines fly! Nine carbons lead to "nonane" above, A higher boiling point – it's chemist's love. With ten carbons, we have "decane" pure, It spreads like oil, a powerful cure!
