Nonane is a linear alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C9H20. It is a colourless liquid, and highly flammable hence mainly used as a component of the fuel source kerosene. Other applications include its uses as a solvent, distillation chaser, fuel additive, and biodegradable detergents.
Nonane has 35 structural isomers.
Its substituent form is nonyl. Its cycloalkane counterpart is cyclononane, (C9H18).
Unlike most alkanes, the numeric prefix in its name is from Latin, not Greek. (A name using a Greek prefix would be enneane.)

No no no no no no no-o-o-oo-oh
Makes me cry to see you go-o-o-oo-oh
No no no no no no no-o-o-oo-oh
Makes me cry to see you go-o-o-oo-oh
Left me here to cry alone
With a bottle of juice & a pork chop bone
No no no no no no no-o-o-oo-oh
Makes me cry to see you go-o-o-oo-oh
Gave my money all to you-oo
Took my watch and pawned it too-oo
Two gold teeth and one glass eye
Didn't have the nerve to say goodbye

You treat me funky baby
And some day you'll have to pay
I ain't such a fool that I would let you go
And treat me this way
No no no no no no no-o-o-oh
I ain't going to let you go-o-o-oo-oh
No no no no no no no-o-o-oh
