Which of the following is the correct structural formula for ethene? CH3CH3 CH3CH2CH3 CH2CH2 CH3CH2CH2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The eth- prefix means two carbons. This rules out half of the choices. The -ene ending means it is an alkene, which means a double bond exists. One of the remaining choices has only single bonds, which leaves the correct answer as the last one standing. \[CH _{2}CH _{2}\]
