C2H2

no, isn't it H-C=C-H (the equals sign should have three lines but I don't know how do do that on the computer)

C2H2 is the molecular formula, H-C=C-H is the structural formula.

The chemical formula is C2H2 . That is, a chain of two carbon atoms with a triple bond between them and each carbon has one hydrogen atom attached.

An interesting thing about acetylene is that it is the hydrocarbon that is closest to the weight of air. It is almost exactly the same weight as nitrogen, so it will remain in still air quite a long time. Other hydrocarbon gasses either rise rapidly (methane, for example) or flow along the ground (propane, for example).

Since acetone is not an element, it does not have a chemical symbol. However, it does have a molecular formula: C3H6O. Its structural formula is (CH3)2CO and it is the ketone of isopropyl alcohol.

There are 2 carbons and 2 hydrogen in acetylene. There are 6 carbons and 6 hydrogen in benzene. Thus, for both, the empirical formulae are CH.

Acetylene is an acceptable name but the systematic name is Ethyne.
