What is c2h2???

If you mean 'C2H2' , then this is ETH**Y**NE

It is an AlkYne , neither an Alkane, nor an Alkene

There is a TRIPLE bond between the two carbons. Structurally,

H-C///C-H

It archaic name is acetylene, as used in oxy-acetylene burners.

NB Note the one letter 'Y' difference in the spelling.

NNB Single letter elemental symbols are ALWAYS written as a CAPITAL letter.

Hence carbon is 'C' not 'c' and hydrogen is 'H' not 'h'

This is the agreed international standard, and as shown in the Periodic Table.
