Question

Explain the structure of ethylene and acetylene​

Answer 1

1. 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.
2. Ethylene is the simplest alkene having the chemical formula H2C=CH2. It has two carbon atoms bonded to each other via a double bond. It is a colorless, flammable gas. The IUPAC name of ethylene is ethane. The molar mass of this compound is 28.05 g/mol. Its melting point is −169.2 °C and boiling point is −103.7 °C.
3. Acetylene is the simplest alkyne having the chemical formula C2H2. It contains two carbon atoms bonded to each other via a triple bond. There are two pi bonds and one sigma bond between the carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is bonded to a hydrogen atom via a single bond. The molecule is planar, and the geometry around one carbon atom is linear.

Answer 2

Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is the chemical compound with the formula C2H2. It is a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne. 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. Pure acetylene is odorless, but commercial grades usually have a marked odor due to impurities.As an alkyne, acetylene is unsaturated because its two carbon atoms are bonded together in a triple bond. The carbon–carbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180°.

Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C2H4 or H2C=CH2. It is a colorless flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds).Ethylene is widely used in the chemical industry, and its worldwide production (over 150 million tonnes in 2016) exceeds that of any other organic compound.Much of this production goes toward polyethylene, a widely used plastic containing polymer chains of ethylene units in various chain lengths. Ethylene is also an important natural plant hormone and is used in agriculture to force the ripening of fruits. Ethylene's hydrate is ethanol.
