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 organic chemical reaction will make an alkane like ethane to become a double bonded 2 carbon chain?
You are trying to reduce ethane to ethene, I am guessing. That is a very hard reaction to do... probably you will have to do a free radical halogenation on ethane to form 1-chloroethane, followed by an E2 reaction with t-butoxide or some other bulky base to form ethene. Since ethane and ethene are both gases and cheaply available from petroleum cracking, this reaction really isn't worth doing.
Is ethane acidic?
No, ethane is not acidic. It is a nonpolar molecule composed of two carbon atoms bonded to six hydrogen atoms, making it a neutral compound with no acidic properties.
What chemical reactions do both ethane and ethene undergo?
Both ethane and ethene can undergo combustion reactions to produce carbon dioxide and water. They can also undergo halogenation reactions with halogens such as chlorine or bromine to form halogenated hydrocarbons. Additionally, they can undergo polymerization reactions to form longer chain hydrocarbons or polymers.
What will lie flat on a plane Methane ethane ethene ethyne chloromethane?
Out of the given molecules, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) will lie flat on a plane. Methane has a tetrahedral shape with carbon at the center and four hydrogen atoms attached to it, while ethane has a linear shape with two carbon atoms bonded together and six hydrogen atoms attached to the carbons. Ethene (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2), and chloromethane (CH3Cl) have bent or trigonal planar geometries, which means they won't lie flat on a plane.
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.
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.
Which tets coudl be used to distinguish between ethene and methane?
Ethene can react with Bromine water - turns colourless
What alkane is formed when ethene reacts with hydrogen?
addition reactions. I was looking up the same question and found it!!!
What is the raw material used to obtain ethane by hydrogenation?
ethene
How can you distinguish between ethene and ethyne by means of a chemical reaction?
One way to distinguish between ethene and ethyne is by performing a bromine water test. Ethene will decolorize bromine water, turning it from orange to colorless, while ethyne will not react with bromine water. This test takes advantage of the unsaturation in ethene that allows it to quickly react with bromine.

Which of the following is most reactive A. ethane B. ethene C. ethyne D. they are all equally reactive?
Ethyne is most reactive where as ethane is least.
How do you convert Ethan to ethylene?
Pyrolysis to convert the ethane to ethene. The add Alkaline Pottasium permanganate solution.
Ethene dissolves in con H2SO4 ethane does not explain?
Ethene is an unsaturated compound so adds up one molecule of sulphuric acid and addition product becomes dissolved in acid but ethane is a saturated compound so does not react and dissolves in sulphuric acid.
What is the name of a saturated straight-chain hydrocarbon with 2 carbons?
Eth-
