Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C2H4 or H₂C=CH₂. It is a colorless flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure.^[4] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds).
Detailed d

Ethylene is widely used in the chemical industry, and its worldwide production (over 150 million tonnes in 2016^[5]) exceeds that of any other organic compound.^[6][7] Much of this production goes toward polyethylene, a widely used plastic containing polymer chains of ethylene units in various chain lengths. Ethylene is also an important natural plant hormone, used in agriculture to force the ripening of fruits.^[8] Ethylene's hydrate is ethanol.

Uses

Major industrial reactions of ethylene include in order of scale: 1) polymerization, 2) oxidation, 3) halogenation and hydrohalogenation, 4) alkylation, 5) hydration, 6) oligomerization, and 7) hydroformylation. In the United States and Europe, approximately 90% of ethylene is used to produce ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride, ethylbenzene and polyethylene.^[10] Most of the reactions with ethylene are electrophilic addition.
