In the mid-19th century, the suffix -ene (an Ancient Greek root added to the end of female names meaning "daughter of") was widely used to refer to a molecule or part thereof that contained one fewer hydrogen atoms than the molecule being modified. Thus, ethylene (C 2 H 4) was the "daughter of ethyl" (C 2 H 5). The name ethylene was used in ...
Chemical structure of the vinyl functional group. In organic chemistry, a vinyl group (abbr. Vi; [1] IUPAC name: ethenyl group [2]) is a functional group with the formula −CH=CH 2. It is the ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) molecule (H 2 C=CH 2) with one fewer hydrogen atom.
Ethane (US: / ˈ ɛ θ eɪ n / ETH-ayn, UK: / ˈ iː-/ EE-) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with chemical formula C 2 H 6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Like many hydrocarbons, ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical by-product of petroleum ...
In chemistry, vinylene (also ethenylene or 1,2-ethenediyl) [1] is a divalent functional group (a part of a molecule) [2] with formula −CH=CH−; [3] namely, two carbons, each connected to the other by a double bond, to an hydrogen atom by a single bond, and to the rest of the molecule by another single bond.
O 2 + Ag → Ag + O 2 −. This species reacts with ethylene Ag + O 2 − + H 2 C=CH 2 → (CH 2 CH 2)O + AgO. The resulting silver oxide then oxidizes ethylene or ethylene oxide to CO 2 and water. This reaction replenishes the silver catalyst. Thus the overall reaction is expressed as 7 CH 2 =CH 2 + 6 O 2 → 6 (CH 2 CH 2)O + 2 CO 2 + 2 H 2 O
The simplest alkene, ethylene (C 2 H 4) (or "ethene" in the IUPAC nomenclature) is the organic compound produced on the largest scale industrially. [5] Aromatic compounds are often drawn as cyclic alkenes, however their structure and properties are sufficiently distinct that they are not classified as alkenes or olefins. [3]

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. It is unstable in its pure form and thus is usually handled as a solution. [9]
