- Definition of C2
C2 is commonly used to denote a molecule consisting of 2 carbon atoms, however in reality, a free C2 molecule does not exist under normal conditions. C2 only exists under very specific conditions such as in plasma, gas flow at high temperatures, or in outer space.
1.1. Common name: Dicarbon
1.1.2. English name: Dicarbon
1.2. Atomic mass: 12.01 amu
1.3. Molecular weight: 24.02 amu
1.4 Ion structure: C2 can form either negative or positive ions, creating different types of inorganic or organic salts.
- Characteristics
2.1 Physical properties of C2: Since it does not exist under standard conditions, it is impossible to determine the specific physical properties of C2.
2.2 Chemical properties of C2: C2 is extremely unstable and has a complicated chemical structure.
- Common chemical equations of C2
As C2 does not exist under normal conditions, there are no specific chemical equations.
- Preparation of C2
4.1 Lab preparation of C2: Due to its instability and unsafety, there is no method to prepare C2 in the lab.
4.2 Industrial preparation of C2: There is no industrial method to prepare C2 as it has no practical applications.
