Question

Prove that ethylene and acetylene are unsaturated hydrocarbon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethylene (C2H4) is a gas with a lower boiling point than ethane. It is formed in large amounts during the cracking of petroleum and is such an important and common industrial chemical that in many parts of the United States a company desiring to use it as a raw material simply hooks up to an ethylene pipeline, much as a householder hooks up to a natural gas line. More ethylene is produced than any other manufactured organic chemical. In 1979, the production of ethylene in the United States was 29.2 billion pounds, more than twice the amount of the second largest chemical, propylene. Ethylene is the most important feedstock (starting material) for the manufacture of other organic chemicals. As its formula tells us, ethylene contains two fewer hydrogens than ethane; each carbon is bonded to only three atoms, one carbon and two hydrogens. The tetravalence of carbon is preserved, however, since four electrons are available for the carbon-carbon bond, which we therefore call a double bond (Fig. 2-1). Hydrocarbons containing double bonds are called alkenes
