Long version:
There are several different Test esters (though three are most commonly found alone), all of which have a molecular chain composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The main difference between the various esters is the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms within these chains. In your case for example, the Enth ester is composed of 7 carbons, 12 hydrogens, whereas the Deca ester is composed of 10 carbons, 18 hydrogens. As you can see there isn’t much structural difference at all, meaning esters are far more appropriately described as short, medium (considered by some), and long. The distribution can also be synthetized into a single number using the ester's total molecular weight (base + ester), but there is still little significant variance here.
