listen to the pronunciation of ethylene
Englisch - Englisch
The common name for the organic chemical compound ethene. The simplest alkene, a colorless gaseous (at room temperature and pressure) hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C2H4
The divalent radical derived from ethane
A hydrocarbon of the Olefin series released by some fruits such as bananas which speeds up the ripening process
a plant hormone responsible for fruit ripening and abscission zone formation
A plant growth-regulating gas, naturally produced in ripening fruit as well as other parts of the plant, responsible for promoting ripening and involved in abscission and other plant processes
Unsaturated hydrocarbon formed by two carbons and four hydrogen molecules in the form of a gas and that liquefies by pressure
A colorless, flammable, gaseous, double bonded, two-carbon hydrocarbon A very useful organic chemistry building block, that is easily polymerized Also known as vinyl
(H2C=CH2) - also known as Ethene, the simplest unsaturated hydrocarbon having two carbon atoms linked by a double bond Ethylene is used as a raw material in the manufacture of polyethylene and vinyl chloride (VCM)
A plant hormone most noteable involved in fruit ripening, but also involved in aging, growth inhibition, and leaf abscission Ethylene is a gaseous hormone
Simplest olefin (CH2CH2), a colourless, flammable gas with a sweetish taste and odour. The petrochemical having the highest volume, it occurs in petroleum and natural gas but is usually produced by heating higher hydrocarbons (usually ethane and ethane-propane mixtures). Ethylene is polymerized to polyethylene either at high pressures and temperatures or by catalysis. It reacts with numerous other chemicals to produce ethanol, solvents, gasoline additives, antifreeze, detergents, and various plastics. In plants, ethylene is a hormone that inhibits growth and promotes leaf fall and fruit ripening
{i} olefiant gas, first member of the alkene series (Chemistry)
Ethylene is produced in olefin plants from straight-run gasoline, LPG or middle distillates It is mainly used to produce polyethylene plastics
A colorless, gaseous hydrocarbon, C2H4, forming an important ingredient of illuminating gas, and also obtained by the action of concentrated sulphuric acid in alcohol
It is an unsaturated compound and combines directly with chlorine and bromine to form oily liquids (Dutch liquid), hence called olefiant gas
An olefinic hydrocarbon recovered from refinery or petrochemical processes
The common name for the organic chemical compound ethene. The simplest alkene, a colorless gaseous (at room temperature and pressure) hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C{2}H{4}
Called also ethene, elayl, and formerly, bicarbureted hydrogen
flammable gas (C2H4) derived from natural gas and petroleum; the lowest molecular weight member of the generic family of olefins Ethylene is widely used as a feedstock in the manufacture of petrochemicals, including polyethylene and other plastics
Gas (C2H4) with growth regulation functions in plants With some parasite seeds (Striga) it acts as a germination stimulant
a flammable colorless gaseous alkene; obtained from petroleum and natural gas and used in manufacturing many other chemicals; sometimes used as an anesthetic
Basic chemical used in the manufacture of plastics (such as polyethylene), antifreeze and synthetic fibers
ethylene glycol
An organic compound, HO-CH2-CH2-OH, and the chemical structure at right. It is a clear, colorless liquid under normal conditions, and is widely used as a vehicle engine coolant due to its anti-freeze properties
ethylene interpolymer
a group of thermoplastic compounds generally based on PVC polymers
ethylene oxide
The simplest epoxide; used as a sterilizing agent and in the production of ethylene glycol
ethylene-vinyl acetate
The copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. Abbreviation: EVA
ethylene glycol
A colorless syrupy alcohol, HOCHOH, used as an antifreeze in cooling and heating systems. Simplest member of the glycol family, also called 1,2-ethanediol (HOCH2CH2OH). It is a colourless, oily liquid with a mild odour and sweet taste. Widely used as an antifreeze in automobile cooling systems, it is also used in many other chemical processes. It and some of its derivatives are fairly toxic. Many dogs, cats, and wild animals are attracted by its sweetness and poisoned by drinking ethylene glycol antifreeze that has been carelessly discarded
ethylene glycol
a sweet but poisonous syrupy liquid used as an antifreeze and solvent
