  2. Acetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene

    Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the chemical compound with the formula C 2 H 2 and structure H−C≡C−H. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne . [ 8 ] This colorless gas is widely used as a fuel and a chemical building block.

  3. Alkyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyne

    A 3D model of ethyne (), the simplest alkyneIn organic chemistry, an alkyne is an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon—carbon triple bond. [1] The simplest acyclic alkynes with only one triple bond and no other functional groups form a homologous series with the general chemical formula C n H 2n−2.

  4. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C 2 H 4 or H 2 C=CH 2. It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky " odour when pure. [ 7 ] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon–carbon double bonds ).

  5. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    Although ethane is a greenhouse gas, it is much less abundant than methane, has a lifetime of only a few months compared to over a decade, [30] and is also less efficient at absorbing radiation relative to mass. In fact, ethane's global warming potential largely results from its conversion in the atmosphere to methane. [31]

  6. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

    Ethylene oxide is a colorless gas at 25 °C (77 °F) and is a mobile liquid at 0 °C (32 °F) – viscosity of liquid ethylene oxide at 0 °C is about 5.5 times lower than that of water. The gas has a characteristic sweet odor of ether, noticeable when its concentration in air exceeds 500 ppm. [26]

  7. Alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene

    For example, CH 3-CH 3 is the alkane ethANe. The name of CH 2 =CH 2 is therefore ethENe. For straight-chain alkenes with 4 or more carbon atoms, that name does not completely identify the compound. For those cases, and for branched acyclic alkenes, the following rules apply: Find the longest carbon chain in the molecule.

  8. Ethenone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethenone

    Ethenone is a highly reactive gas (at standard conditions) and has a sharp irritating odour.It is only reasonably stable at low temperatures (−80 °C). It must therefore always be prepared for each use and processed immediately, otherwise a dimerization to diketene occurs or it reacts to polymers that are difficult to handle.

  9. Steam cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_cracking

    This degrades the efficiency of the reactor, so reaction conditions are designed to minimize this. Nonetheless, a steam cracking furnace can usually only run for a few months at a time between de-cokings. Decokes require the furnace to be isolated from the process and then a flow of steam or a steam/air mixture is passed through the furnace coils.
