'''Icosane''' (also known by the name '''eicosane''' or as '''didecyl''') is an ] with the ] C<sub>20</sub>H<sub>42</sub>. It has 366,319 ]s.


Icosane's size, state or chemical inactivity does not exclude it from the traits its smaller alkane counterparts have. It is a colorless, non-polar ], nearly unreactive except when it burns. It is less dense than and insoluble in water. Its non-polar trait means it can only perform weak ] bonding (]/]s).
Icosane has little use in the ] industry, as its high ] makes it an inefficient fuel. Due to its chemical inactivity, ''n''-icosane (the straight-chain structural ] of icosane) is part of the ] group, and is the shortest molecule in the ] used to form candles.

Icosane's size, state or chemical inactivity does not exclude it from the traits its smaller alkane counterparts have. It is a colorless, less dense than water, non-polar ], nearly non-reactive unless combusted, and insoluble in water. Its non-polar trait means it can only perform weak ] bonding (]/]s).


Icosane's phase transition at a moderate temperature makes it a candidate ], or PCM which can be used to store thermal energy and control temperature.
