Ethylene oxide is an epoxide... a three membered ring containing two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen has two single bonds, one to each of the two carbons.

When a group of Carbon and Oxygen bonded together what is it called?
carbon dioxide
What formula distinguishes COH from CHO?
CHO is used to denote an aldehyde group, so you would have Carbon double bonded to an oxygen and single bonded to a hydrogen. COH is used to denote an alcohol group where you have Carbon single bonded to an oxygen and the oxygen in turn single bonded to a hydrogen.
Ethyl butyrate structural formula?
H_ ..... _H H_C=C_H In C2H4 (ethane, ethene, ethylene) there is a double carbon bond between CH2 structures.
Is carbon dioxide single or double bonds?
Double bonds. Each oxygen is doubly bonded to the carbon. It is structurally represented by ( O=C=O ).
How do aldehyde's and ketones differ from alcohol?
Both aldehydes and ketones contain a C=O (carbon double bond oxygen). Ketones have this C=O somewhere in their carbon chain, but not at the start or end of the chain (ie: there are more carbons attached to the carbon containing the double bond oxygen, and no hydrogens bonded to that carbon). Aldehydes have there C=O at the end, or start of the chain, and to maintain the octet rule, there is hydrogen bonded to the oxygen containing carbon (please note that it is a C=O). The functional group of alcohol is OH. This OH is bonded directly to the last (or first) carbon in the chain. The big difference is that the carbon bond oxygen is a single bond and the hydrogen is bonded to the oxygen (not the carbon, as the case of aldehydes).
Is ethylene organic or inorganic?
It is organic substance
What is C2H2?
Hydrogen 2, Carbon 2, and Oxygen 4. This is the formula for oxalic acid.
When a group of Carbon and Oxygen bonded together what is it called?
carbon dioxide
Why the 2 oxygen atom in the acetate ion are written separately?
One of the oxygen atoms is doubly bonded to carbon, while the other oxygen atom is singly bonded to both carbon and hydrogen.
What formula distinguishes COH from CHO?
CHO is used to denote an aldehyde group, so you would have Carbon double bonded to an oxygen and single bonded to a hydrogen. COH is used to denote an alcohol group where you have Carbon single bonded to an oxygen and the oxygen in turn single bonded to a hydrogen.
How are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide different?
Carbon monoxide is 1 carbon bonded to 1 oxygen. CO Carbon dioxide is 1 carbon bonded to 2 oxygens. CO2
Oxygen double bonded to a carbon in the middle of a carbon chain?
A carbon-oxygen group like this is referred to as a carbonyl group by itself. Any molecule that has one bonded into it's main chain is a ketone.
Ethyl butyrate structural formula?
H_ ..... _H H_C=C_H In C2H4 (ethane, ethene, ethylene) there is a double carbon bond between CH2 structures.
Why carbonates and bi carbonates are not organic compound?
An organic compound is one where carbon is bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. In carbonates and bicarbonates the carbon is bonded to oxygen, in carbon disulphide it is bonded to sulfur.
What does carbon monoxide consist of?
It contains one carbon and one oxygen atom bonded together
Is carbon dioxide is an element compound or a solution?
Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound. This is because it contains two elements, carbon and oxygen, that are chemically bonded together. Carbon dioxide exists as simple molecules where two carbon atoms are double bonded to one oxygen atom.
Why isn't carbon dioxide considere an organic compound?
It isn't an organic compound as to be considered organic a compound must have carbon bonded to hydrogen. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide only have carbon bonded to oxygen.
