A schematic structural diagram shows a small hydrocarbon with two central carbon atoms joined by a double bond, each carbon bonded to two hydrogens, corresponding to C2H4 (ethylene, ethene). In hierarchy, it is an alkene molecule within the hydrocarbon class studied in organic chemistry and biochemistry. The sp2-hybridized carbons produce a planar geometry with a Ο bond enabling electrophilic addition reactions. Functionally, the compound acts as a plant hormone (ET, ethylene) regulating fruit ripening and serves as a petrochemical feedstock for polymerization into polyethylene.
