ethylene

In organic chemistry terms the difference between ethylene and ester

is that ethylene is the divalent radical derived from ethane while ester is a compound most often formed by the condensation of an alcohol and an acid, with elimination of water. It contains the functional group carbon-oxygen double bond joined via carbon to another oxygen atom.

As nouns the difference between ethylene and ester

is that ethylene is the common name for the organic chemical compound ethene. The simplest alkene, a colorless gaseous (at room temperature and pressure) hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₂H₄ while ester is a compound most often formed by the condensation of an alcohol and an acid, with elimination of water. It contains the functional group carbon-oxygen double bond joined via carbon to another oxygen atom.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and ethylene

As nouns the difference between ethylene and dichloroethane

is that ethylene is the common name for the organic chemical compound ethene. The simplest alkene, a colorless gaseous (at room temperature and pressure) hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₂H₄ while dichloroethane is either of two isomeric organochlorides with the molecular formula C₂H₄Cl₂: 1,1-dichloroethane (ethylidene dichloride) and 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride).

As nouns the difference between ethylene and acetylens
