Discussion on the daily question regarding the structural formula of ethylene
Thread Content
The structural formula of ethylene is CH2=CH2. (Correct) Strictly speaking, it’s incorrect, although many people write it this way. H2C=CH2 – the carbon-carbon double bond is together; don’t separate it: lol. Give Lao Guan some points; P. It’s still the same sentence, right? ?
In the end, it’s a bit confusing
A structural formula simplification is a simplified representation of a structural formula (usually applicable only to pure substances in molecular form, such as organic molecules), and it should show the functional groups present in that substance: only the carbon-hydrogen single bonds need to be omitted; most other single bonds, such as carbon-carbon bonds, carbon-chlorine bonds, and bonds between carbon and hydroxyl groups, can be either included or omitted. (In high school chemistry, the principle of minimizing what’s necessary is generally followed.) From what I remember, this is also how it’s presented in textbooks, including those on organic chemistry written by foreigners. So I think it’s right
