unsaturated hydrocarbon (C2H4), colourless gas produced by processing ethane, propane, petrol etc.; feedstock for further petrochemical refining (plastic mass).

Ethylene is an organic gas compound with the formula C2H4. This gas is produced by fruits and vegetables that is rotting and accelerates the ripening and aging process of nearby fruits.

Also called ethene, ethylene is the simplest member of the olefinic hydrocarbon series and one of the most important raw materials of the organic chemical industry. It occurs in both petroleum and natural gas, but the bulk of the industrial material is produced by heating of higher hydrocarbons. Ethylene can be polymerised to the plastic material p [..]
