there is nothing called as methene.

how cam there be a double bond in something where there is just one carbon.

the simplest hydrocarbon containing double bond is ethene.

Methene is nothing but methylene radical. (Methene was the former name.)

 :CH2 radical. ..no double bonds here.

example : methylene bromide : CH2Br2.

Am not having ncert rite now ..so cant chk...(btw whats so funny here ?)

The End.

dude, read that full sentence.

It may be remembered that first member of alkene series is: CH2 (replacing n by 1 in CnH2n) known as methene but has a very short life. Carbon has valency 4 and hydrogen 1. So, this is not stable. So, we start the alkene series form stable member i.e. ethene CH2=CH2.

Methylene radical is the bivalent radical CH2 derived from methane.

methene does not exist as c-h double bond cannot exist(only 1 electron in hydrogen).
