methylene

In organic chemistry terms the difference between ethylene and methylene

is that ethylene is the divalent radical derived from ethane while methylene is the unstable carbene CH₂.

As nouns the difference between ethylene and methylene

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 methylene is the divalent radical CH₂< in which the free valencies are part of single bonds.

As nouns the difference between methene and methylene

is that methene is methylene while methylene is the divalent radical CH₂< in which the free valencies are part of single bonds.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and methylene

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while methylene is the divalent radical CH₂< in which the free valencies are part of single bonds.

is that methylene is methylene while homospermine is (organic chemistry) an analogue of spermine having an extra methylene group between the middle two nitrogen atoms; and derivative of this compound.

As nouns the difference between methylene and homoamino

is that methylene is methylene while homoamino is (organic chemistry) used attributively to describe any derivative of an amino compound, especially an amino acid, having an extra methylene group.

As nouns the difference between methylene and arylidene

is that methylene is methylene while arylidene is (organic chemistry|especially in combination) any aryl derivative of a methylene group.

As nouns the difference between methylene and nortropane
