  2. 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).

  3. ethylene (H2C=CH2), the simplest of the organic compounds known as alkenes, which contain carbon-carbon double bonds. It is a colourless, flammable gas having a sweet taste and odour. Natural sources of ethylene include both natural gas and petroleum; it is also a naturally occurring hormone in plants, in which it inhibits growth and promotes ...

    The name Ethylene is used because it is like an ethyl group (CH2CH3) but there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms in it. Ethene has the formula C2H4 and is the simplest alkene because it has the fewest carbons (two) necessary for a carbon-carbon double bond.

  8. Ethylene or ethene is a chemical compound with two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms in each molecule. These molecules are put together with a double bond that makes it a hydrocarbon. It is very important in industry and has even been used in biology as a hormone. [1] It is also the most made chemical.

    ethylene (ethene), a gas of the formula CH 2 =CH 2, produced by fruit as a hormone to speed ripening of climacteric fruits. This explains why some fruits ripen faster if they are stored in a plastic bag. It is used commercially in very small amounts to speed fruit ripening after harvesting.

    Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is the chemical compound with the formula C 2 H 4. It is the simplest alkene. Because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond, ethylene is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon or an olefin. It is extremely important in industry and also has a role in biology as a hormone.
