The carbon–carbon triple bond places all four atoms in the same straight line, with CCH bond angles of 180°. The triple bond in acetylene results in a high energy content that is released when acetylene is burned. Discovery Acetylene was discovered in 1836 by Edmund Davy, who identified it as a "new carburet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
