n pi: hydrocarbons that have a straight chain of carbon atoms. Compare aromatic hydrocarbons.

n pi: hydrocarbons derived from or containing a benzene ring. Many have an odour. Singlering aromatic hydrocarbons are the benzene series (benzene, ethylbenzenes, and toluene). Aromatic hydrocarbons also include naphthalene and anthracene. Compare aliphatic hydrocarbons.

n: a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having the formula CnH2n+2 (e.g., methane, CH4;ethane, C2H6). Heavier paraffin hydrocarbons (i.e., C18H38) form a wax-like substance that is called paraffin. These heavier paraffins often accumulate on the walls of tubing and other production equipment, restricting or stopping the flow of the desirable lighter paraffins.

normal or straight carbon chain alkanes with carbon chain lengths of C18+. The alkanes in this range solidify at temperatures from 80oF to over 200oF. Paraffin is amorphous but may appear to have structure in slow growth examples.
