Abstract
We provide a mathematical model of $n$-membered straight-chain hydrocarbon molecules. The configuration space of the model is parametrized by chain lengths. By assuming the bond angle conditions required for hydrocarbon molecules, we determine the topological types of fibers of the configuration space of the model by chain lengths when $n = 5$.
