•  Alkane

  Alkanes, also known as paraffins, are chemical compounds that consist only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), wherein these atoms are linked together exclusively by single bonds (i.e. , they are saturated compounds) without any cyclic structure (i.e. loops). Alkanes belong to a homologous series of organic compounds in which the members differ by a constant relative molecular mass of 14.

•  Kerosene

  Kerosene, sometimes spelled kerosine in scientific and industrial usage, also known as paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid. The name is derived from Greek keros. The word Kerosene was registered as a trademark by Abraham Gesner in 1854 and for several years only the North American Gas Light Company and the Downer Company (to which Gesner had granted the right) were allowed to call their lamp oil kerosene. It eventually became a genericized trademark.

•  Propane

  Propane is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. It is derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. It is commonly used as a fuel for engines, oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves and residential central heating. When used as vehicle fuel, it is commonly known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP-gas), which can be a mixture of propane along with small amounts of propylene, butane, and butylene.

•  Paraffin

  In chemistry, paraffin is the common name for the alkane hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2. Paraffin wax refers to the solids with 20 ≤ n ≤ 40 . The simplest paraffin molecule is that of methane, CH4, a gas at room temperature. Heavier members of the series, such as that of octane, C8H18, and mineral oil appear as liquids at room temperature. The solid forms of paraffin, called paraffin wax, are from the heaviest molecules from C20H42 to C40H82.

•  Butane

  Butane is a hydrocarbon with formula C4H10, that is, an alkane with four carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of two structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: In the IUPAC nomenclature, however, butane refers only to the unbranched n-butane isomer; the other one being called "methylpropane". Butanes are highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gases. The name butane comes from the roots but- and -ane.

•  Hexane

  Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14; that is, an alkane with six carbon atoms. The term may refer to any of four other structural isomers with that formula, or to a mixture of them. In the IUPAC nomenclature, however, hexane is the unbranched isomer (n-hexane); the other four structures are named as methylated derivatives of pentane and butane.

•  Octane

  Octane is a hydrocarbon and an alkane with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)6CH3. Octane has many structural isomers which differ by the amount and location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (isooctane) is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale. As with all low-molecular weight hydrocarbons, octane and its isomers are very flammable. It is a component of gasoline (petrol).

•  Heptane

  n-Heptane is the straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula H3C(CH2)5CH3 or C7H16. It is the zero point of the octane rating scale (the 100 point is iso-octane).

•  Ethane

  Ethane is a chemical compound with chemical formula C2H6. It is the only two-carbon alkane that is an aliphatic hydrocarbon. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas, and as a byproduct of petroleum refining. Its chief use is as petrochemical feedstock for ethylene production.

•  Isobutane

  Isobutane, also known as methylpropane or 2-methylpropane, is an alkane, isomeric with butane. It is the simplest alkane with a tertiary carbon. Recent concerns with depletion of the ozone layer by freon gases have led to increased use of isobutane as a gas for refrigeration systems, especially in domestic refrigerators and freezers, and as a propellant in aerosol sprays. When used as a refrigerant or a propellant, isobutane is also known as R-600a.

•  Närke

  Närke is a traditional Swedish province or landskap in middle Sweden. It borders Västergötland, Värmland, Västmanland, Södermanland and Östergötland. On Närkes 4,100 km² surface area, 187,000 people live. The name of the province is partly derived from an old name for the people of the province, the Njarar or Nerikjar (today Närkingar), a name that occurs in the Scandinavian version of the Lay of Weyland the smith.

•  Excelsior Stadium

  The Excelsior Stadium is the home of Airdrie United F.C. of the Scottish Football League First Division. It was built in 1998 to house Airdrieonians F.C. , and when Airdrieonians went into liqudation four years later, Airdrie United took over the stadium. The ground is named in honour of Broomfield Park, the former home of Airdrieonians.
