Evaluate the article
This Wiki article contains the basic chemical properties of octane, but it lacks the use and production of the compound. Background information will provide more understanding about this compound.

Although octane’s chemical properties and hazards are well-cited, several explanations on its effect on engines have no citations. As for visuals, the article has only structural models. Adding photographic images can illustrate the relevance of octane as a real-life compound.
