dichloroethene
Dichloroethene refers to the chemical compound family with the formula C2H2Cl2, consisting of two carbon atoms bearing two chlorine substituents. It exists as distinct isomers that differ in the arrangement of the chlorine atoms around the carbon–carbon double bond.
The 1,1-dichloroethene isomer, also known as vinylidene chloride, has the formula CH2=CCl2. It is not subject
Production and uses are typically industrial. Dichloroethenes can be formed as byproducts in chlorinated hydrocarbon processes
Safety and environmental aspects are important for dichloroethenes. They are generally volatile and can be irritants
