Ethene

Ethene (C₂H₄), the simplest alkene, is a colorless, flammable gas with a slightly sweet smell. As a fundamental building block in the chemical industry, its primary use is in the production of polyethylene, one of the most common plastics in the world, found in everything from packaging films to squeeze bottles. Beyond plastics, ethene is a starting material for industrial alcohol (ethanol), antifreeze (ethylene glycol), and vinyl chloride, which is used to make PVC. Interestingly, ethene is also a natural plant hormone that plays a crucial role in promoting fruit ripening, leaf fall, and flower opening.
