Question
Scenario 9.1 Ethene
Ethene (ethylene) is one of the most important petrochemicals in Alberta. Ethene is manufactured and used as an intermediate in the production of chloroethene, which is used in the production of
consumer products such as pipes, tiles, antifreeze, clothing and textile fibres, insulation, and paint products. Ethene is produced by the cracking of ethane. Ethene is also used to produce ethanol,
ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride, and polyethylene resins.
Use Scenario 9.1 to answer the following question.
Draw the structure and write the chemical formula for ethene. State whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar, and state the number of covalent bonds found in one molecule of ethene.
