: [[Ethene]] is [[hydrocarbon]] because it contains only [[Hydrogen]] and [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
: [[Ethene]] has a [[Double Bond|double bond]] between the two [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s.
: [[Ethene]] is described as 'unsaturated' due to the [[Double Bond|double bond]] as it is not completely 'saturated' by [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s like [[Ethane]].
: [[Ethene]] can be [[oxidise]]d to [[product|produce]] [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]].
: [[Ethene]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
