ETHYLENE, or ETHENE, C2H<, or H2C:CH3, the first representative of the series of olefine hydrocarbons, is found in coal gas. It is usually prepared by healing a mixture of ethyl alcohol and sulphuric acid. G. S. Newth (Jour. Chem. Soc., 1901, 79, p. 915) obtai ...

ETHYL, in chemistry, the name given to the alkyl radical CjHj. The compounds containing this radical are treated under other headings; the hydride is better known as ethane, the alcohol, CjHsOH, is the ordinary alcohol of commerce, and the oxide (CjH6)jO is or
