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]
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.
The reaction of calcium carbide with water, producing acetylene and calcium hydroxide, [5] was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1862. CaC 2 ( s ) + 2H 2 O ( l ) → C 2 H 2 ( g ) + Ca(OH) 2 (aq) This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene , and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide.
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).

The molecular formula C 2 H 2 O (molar mass: 42.04 g/mol, exact mass: 42.0106 u) may refer to: Ethenone, or ketene; Ethynol, or hydroxylacetylene; Oxirene
The name refers to its conceptual construction from polymerization of acetylene to give a chain with repeating olefin groups. This compound is conceptually important, as the discovery of polyacetylene and its high conductivity upon doping helped to launch the field of organic conductive polymers .
Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another.
