  2. Vinyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_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. The name is also used for any compound containing that group, namely R−CH=CH 2 where R is any other group of atoms.

  3. Vinylene group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinylene_group

    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.

  4. Alkene - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Carbon–carbon bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboncarbon_bond

    Carbon is one of the few elements that can form long chains of its own atoms, a property called catenation.This coupled with the strength of the carboncarbon bond gives rise to an enormous number of molecular forms, many of which are important structural elements of life, so carbon compounds have their own field of study: organic chemistry.

  6. Double bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bond

    In ethylene each carbon atom has three sp 2 orbitals and one p-orbital. The three sp 2 orbitals lie in a plane with ~120° angles. The p-orbital is perpendicular to this plane. When the carbon atoms approach each other, two of the sp 2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond.

    2 c 2 h 6 + 7 o 2 → 4 co 2 + 6 h 2 o + 3120 kj Combustion may also occur without an excess of oxygen, yielding carbon monoxide , acetaldehyde , methane , methanol , and ethanol . At higher temperatures, especially in the range 600–900 °C (1,112–1,652 °F), ethylene is a significant product:

  8. Chemical structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_structure

    The methods by which one can determine the structure of a molecule is called structural elucidation.These methods include: concerning only connectivity of the atoms: spectroscopies such as nuclear magnetic resonance (proton and carbon-13 NMR), various methods of mass spectrometry (to give overall molecular mass, as well as fragment masses).Techniques such as absorption spectroscopy and the ...

  9. Terminal alkene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_alkene

    The double bond of an alpha olefin is between the #1 and #2 (IUPAC) or α and β (common) carbon atoms. In organic chemistry , terminal alkenes ( alpha-olefins , α-olefins , or 1-alkenes ) are a family of organic compounds which are alkenes (also known as olefins) with a chemical formula C x H 2 x , distinguished by having a double bond at the ...
