CH2CFCH3
CH2CFCH3, also known as vinyl chloride or chloroethene, is a colorless, flammable gas with a faint, sweet odor. It is a member of the chloroalkene family, which includes other compounds with a similar structure but different halogen substitutions. Vinyl chloride is primarily used as a building block in the chemical industry to produce polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a widely used plastic material.
The chemical formula CH2CFCH3 indicates that the molecule consists of two carbon atoms, three hydrogen atoms,
Vinyl chloride is produced industrially through the chlorination of ethylene. This process involves the reaction of
Due to its potential health and environmental hazards, the use of vinyl chloride has been subject to
