Propane (C3H8) is a colorless, odorless (in pure form), flammable hydrocarbon gas with a faint petroleum-like smell when odorized. It belongs to the alkane series and is a major component of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Propane is widely used as a fuel for heating, cooking, industrial processes, and as a feedstock in petrochemical production. Due to its portability, clean combustion, and high energy content, propane is a versatile energy source in both residential and commercial applications.
