How does the structure of ethene compare to the structure of ethane?
Both ethene and ethane contain two carbons. Ethene has a double bond between its two carbons while ethane has a single bond. Because of this, ethane contains six hydrogen atoms, but ethene only contains four.
Is ethane acidic?
ethene is a gas
What organic chemical reaction will make an alkane like ethane to become a double bonded 2 carbon chain?
You are trying to reduce ethane to ethene, I am guessing. That is a very hard reaction to do... probably you will have to do a free radical halogenation on ethane to form 1-chloroethane, followed by an E2 reaction with t-butoxide or some other bulky base to form ethene. Since ethane and ethene are both gases and cheaply available from petroleum cracking, this reaction really isn't worth doing.
What is an example of an reaction force?
forces between chemical reactions for example ethene reacting with hydrogen gas
How do you distinguish between ethane and ethene?
Ethane has two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms (C2H6). It is a flammable gas and is a saturated molecule, meaning that each carbon atom has four bonds linked to 4 other atoms. Methane (CH4), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10) are similar molecules and all are flammable gases. Ethene has two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms (C2H4). It is also a gas but it is an unsaturated molecule: the two carbon atoms are linked by a double bond. Ethene molecules can join together into a single, long molecule. The result is a string of carbon atoms that each have two hydrogen atoms attached and are also linked to two other carbon atoms. This is polythene or polyethelene, a simple polymer that is used for plastic bags among other things. The ability to form into long chains is due to the double bond between the carbon atoms in the ethene molecule.

What is the raw material used to obtain ethane by hydrogenation?
ethene
What is the chemical formula of ethane?
C2H6 is the structure of ethane although the chemical formula can be shown in the displayed formula as well. This is shown by 6 C-H single bonds and 1 C-C single bond as carbon needs 4 bonds to other atoms.
What is an example of an reaction force?
forces between chemical reactions for example ethene reacting with hydrogen gas
What polymer is formed when lots of ethane molecules are joined together?
The plastic poly [ethene ]- polyethylene is formed.
A molecule of ethane and a molecule of ethene both have the same?
number of carbon atoms
Which of the following is most reactive A. ethane B. ethene C. ethyne D. they are all equally reactive?
Ethyne is most reactive where as ethane is least.
Chemical symbol for ethene?
The chemical formula for ethene (an alkene) is C2H4.
