No, ethylene (ethene) has a carbon-carbon double bond, in addition to four other single bonds between carbon and hydrogen.

Which compound contains a longer C-C bond benzene or ethene?

c-c bond length in benzene is 1.397 angston and that of ethene is 1.34 angston structure of benzene is a resonance hybrid, therefore all the c-c bond lengths are equal but different from those in alkanes,alkenes, and alkynes.


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.


What forms when Ethene combines with sulfur monochloride?

When ethene combines with sulfur monochloride, the reaction forms vinyl sulfide. This is an addition reaction where the double bond in ethene reacts with the sulfur monochloride to form a new carbon-sulfur bond in the product.


Why is the reason of ethene with bromine called an addition reaction?

The reaction of ethene with bromine is called an addition reaction because the bromine atoms add across the double bond of ethene to form a single product molecule. The double bond in ethene breaks and new single bonds are formed with bromine, resulting in an overall increase in the number of atoms in the product compared to the reactants. This type of reaction is characteristic of addition reactions where atoms or groups are added to a double or triple bond.


What alkane is formed when ethene reacts with hydrogen?

addition reactions. I was looking up the same question and found it!!!


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.


Is ethene ionic or covalent?

Ethene (C2H4) is a covalent compound. It is formed by the sharing of electrons between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, making it a covalent bond.


Why is ethene regarded as unsaturated hydrocarbon?

As ethene contains double bond it is considered as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Note-hydrocarbon is said to saturated when it contain C-C single bond and hydrocarbon is said to unsaturated when it has carbon carbon double or triple bonds


What is the estimated value of the hch bond angle in ethene?

The estimated value of the H-C-H bond angle in ethene is approximately 121 degrees.


Why is ethene unsaturated carbon?

Because there is a double bond


A molecule of ethane and a molecule of ethene both have the same?

Both ethane and ethene have the same number of carbon atoms per molecule, which is two. However, the difference lies in the type of bonds between the carbon atoms - ethane has single bonds, while ethene has a double bond.


Ethene differs from ethane in that it has a?

double bond between carbon atoms.
