Acetylene
(n.)
A gaseous compound of carbon and hydrogen, in the proportion of two atoms of the former to two of the latter. It is a colorless gas, with a peculiar, unpleasant odor, and is produced for use as an illuminating gas in a number of ways, but chiefly by the action of water on calcium carbide. Its light is very brilliant.

ACETYLENE
A colorless, highly flammable gas with a sweetish odor; used with oxygen In oxyacetylene welding. It is produced synthetically by incomplete combustion of coal gas and also by the action of water on calcium carbide (CaC2). Also can be made from natural gas.

Acetylene
Acetylene (systematic name: ethyne) is a hydrocarbon belonging to the group of alkynes. It is considered to be the simplest of all alkynes as it consists of two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms. Acetylene is an unsaturated organic compound because its four atoms are triple bonded through a covalent bond.
