BUTATRIENE

Today I made Butatriene C₄H₄. This molecule looks really cool as a model like some type of chain here is a picture of it and a fact.

1. Butatriene is also known as Cumulene.

BUTENE

Here are some facts and a picture of Butene C₄H₈.

1. Butene is a colorless gas.
2. Butene is also known as butalyne.
3. Butene is an alkene.
4. Boiling point 20.12°F
5. Melting point 20.66°F

PROPENE

Today I made Propene C₃H₆. Here is a photo of it and some facts.

1. Classification alkene.
2. Boiling point -53.68°F
3. Melting point -301.4°F

ETHENE

Hi today I will start making the alkenes. Today I made Ethene C₂H₄. This was a fun molecule to make. Here is a photo of it and some facts.

1. Classification alkene.
2. Boiling point -54.7°F.
3. Melting point -272.6°F.
4. Ethene is also called Ethylene.

CYCLOBUTYNE

Cyclobutyne C₄H₄ is the first molecule I've built that has a triple bond. Here is a photo of it and a fact about it.

1. Cyclobutane is very unstable do to high ring strain so it has not been isolated in it's pure state.

CYCLOBUTADIENE

Today I made Cyclobutadiene C₄H₄, I had lots of fun making it and it looks really cool. Here is a picture of it and some facts.

1. Cyclobutadiene is so unstable it has a lifetime of of less the five seconds.
2. It is the smallest annulene, a type of hydrocarbon.

BENZENE

Benzene C₆H₆ is the first molecule I made that uses double bonds. Here is a photo of it and some facts.

1. Boiling point 176.2°F
2. Melting point 41.9°F
3. Benzene is used to make other chemicals such as plastics and pesticides.
4. Benzene is known to cause cancer.
