Structure of acetylene
Structure
of acetylene
By reasoning
similar to that used for ethylene, the structure of acetylene is shown to be
H-C=C-H, and may be represented as in the below figure.
This
representation, however, appears to be inadequate. According to Coulson (1952),
the two 𝝅–bonds form a charge cloud which has cylindrical symmetry about the
carbon-axis.
