Main Difference – Ethylene vs Acetylene

Ethylene and acetylene are hydrocarbons. They are very different in their chemical and physical properties. Ethylene can be found naturally in crude oil and natural gas; it is also found in plants as a plant hormone that causes the ripening of fruits. Acetylene is an alkyne. It is a linear molecule and is highly flammable. Therefore, it is used as a fuel. Acetylene is mainly produced by thermal cracking processes in refineries. The main difference between ethylene and acetylene is that ethylene is an alkene whereas acetylene is an alkyne.
