acetylene
Acetylene. That is HC=CH The = should be a triple bond.
Ethyne is the modern name for acetylene.
Ethane is a 2 carbon alkane joined by a single bond - C2H6 - (always called ethane)
Ethene is a 2 carbon alkene joined by a double bond - C2H4 - was called "ethylene".
Ethyne is a 2 carbon alkyne joined by a triple bond - C2H2 - was called "acetylene".
The generic terms 'acyl' and 'acetyl' for a 2 carbon group was coined by Liebig in 1839 from the latin for vinegar 'vinum acetum' (lit. wine gone sour). You still hear vinegar (ethanoic acid) referred to as acetic acid.
