What is the monomer use to make polythene?
This monomer is ethene (or ethylene) - C2H4.
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 hydration of ethene preparation of ethanol?
yes, because the hydration of ethene or ethylene (C2H4) is process of reacting ethene with water(H2O) which gives out ethanol. for more information please visit wikipedia regards~anonymous
What does ethene have that polyethene does not?
double bonds
Which group does ethene belong?
alkene
What is the best description of the carbon-carbon bonds in ethene C2H4?
Two sp2 orbitals overlap to form a sigma bond, and two 2p orbitals overlap to form a pi bond.
What is sp2 hybridisation?
Hybridization in brief can be said as inter mixing of orbitals. But you may have questions such as why? where ? when it happens and what exactly it is? Its very simple for example as in your question consider methane. The carbon atom has 2 electrons in 1s orbital and; 2 electrons in 2s orbital and; 1 electron in 2px orbital and; 1 electron in 2py orbital.In methane before carbon atom undergo bonding with hydrogen it undergoes hybridization ,that is 2s orbitals and 2p orbitals combines or hybridizes and for methane it is sp3 hybridization that means an s orbital had combined with 3 of the 2p orbitals (2px,2py,2pz). It has an tetrahedral arrangement (like four corners of a triangular pyramid) of four lobes of angles approx 109.5 degrees(The angle between H-C-H). After hybridization you cannot differentiate s orbital and p orbital.And in that sp3 hybrid each lobe has one electron and all the lobes bond with hydrogen atoms containing single electron.Note that all the lobes must be treated as an orbital such that they can maximum hold only of two electrons.Thus methane is formed as an result of head on collision of sp3 hybrids and hydrogen atoms.
What is the monomer use to make polythene?
This monomer is ethene (or ethylene) - C2H4.
What is ethene's hydrocarbon formula?
The hydrocarbon ethene has a chemical formula of C2H4.
What is the more common name for ethene?
Ethene is usually called ethylene.
Is ethene ionic or covalent?
Covalent, ethene has a double bond, C2H4
What is the chemical equation for the hydration of ethene?
C5H4 + H20 = C5H5OH ethene + water = ethanol
Chemical symbol for ethene?
The chemical formula for ethene (an alkene) is C2H4.
Which tets coudl be used to distinguish between ethene and methane?
Ethene can react with Bromine water - turns colourless
What happens when ethene burns what is let out?
Combustion of ethene produces carbon dioxide and water.
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.
