Chemical structure of the vinyl functional group.

A vinyl compound is any organic compound that contains a vinyl group (also called ethenyl), −CH=CH₂. An organic compound is any member of a large class of Chemical compounds whose Molecules contain Carbon. Carbon (kɑɹbən is a Chemical element with the symbol C and its Atomic number is 6 Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1 These are derivatives of ethylene, CH₂=CH₂, with one hydrogen atom substituted with some other group. Structure This Hydrocarbon has four Hydrogen Atoms bound to a pair of Carbon atoms that are connected by a Double bond. Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1

A related phrase is vinylidene which stands for the vinyl residue in an organic compound for instance in 1,1-dichloroethene.

The vinyl group forms part of the allyl group and is also contained in all acrylates. An allyl group is an Alkene Hydrocarbon group with the formula H2C=CH-CH2- The acrylate ion ( C[[Hydrogen H]]2=CHC OO sup>&minus is the Ion of Acrylic acid. Many alkenes contain a vinyl group. In Organic chemistry, an alkene, olefin, or olefine is an unsaturated Chemical compound containing at least one Carbon

The vinyl group can be made to polymerize, forming vinyl polymers. In Polymer chemistry, polymerization is a process of reacting Monomer Molecules together in a Chemical reaction to form three-dimensional networks Vinyl polymers are a group of Polymers derived from Vinyl Monomers Their backbone is an extended alkane chain made by polymerizing an Alkene In these polymers, the double bonds of the vinyl monomers turn into single bonds and the different monomers are joined by single bonds. A monomer (from Greek mono "one" and meros "part" is a small Molecule that may become chemically bonded to other This is an instance of addition polymerization. Addition polymerisation, also called polyaddition or chain growth polymerization, is a Polymerisation technique where unsaturated Monomer There are no vinyl groups in the resulting polymer. It is also important to ascertain the absence of unreacted vinyl monomer in the final product when the monomer is toxic or reduces the performance of the plastic.

Polymers

• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is made by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride (chloroethene) CH₂=CHCl
• Polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is made by polymerization of vinyl acetate. Vinyl polymers are a group of Polymers derived from Vinyl Monomers Their backbone is an extended alkane chain made by polymerizing an Alkene In Polymer chemistry, polymerization is a process of reacting Monomer Molecules together in a Chemical reaction to form three-dimensional networks A monomer (from Greek mono "one" and meros "part" is a small Molecule that may become chemically bonded to other Vinyl chloride is the Organic compound with the formula CH2CHCl Polyvinyl acetate ( PVA or PVAc) is a Rubbery Synthetic polymer. Vinyl acetate is an Organic compound with the formula CH3COOCH=CH2 In a water suspension, this is used as a glue.
• Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is produced by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. Polyvinyl alcohol ( PVOH, PVA, or PVAL) is a Water - Soluble Synthetic polymer. Hydrolysis is a Chemical reaction during which one or more water molecules are split into hydrogen and hydroxide ions which may go on to participate in further reactions Polyvinyl acetate ( PVA or PVAc) is a Rubbery Synthetic polymer. (Not by polymerization of the monomer vinyl alcohol or ethenol, which is an unfavored keto-enol tautomer of acetaldehyde. Ethenol, also called vinyl alcohol, hydroxyethene or hydroxyethylene, is an Alcohol with Chemical formula 23 Tautomers are Organic compounds that are interconvertible by a Chemical reaction called tautomerization. Acetaldehyde, sometimes known as ethanal, is an organic chemical compound with the formula C[[Hydrogen H]]3CH O or MeCHO )

Etymology

The etymology of vinyl is the Latin vinum = "wine", because of its relationship with alcohol (in its original sense of ethyl alcohol). Etymology is the study of the History of Words &mdash when they entered a language from what source and how their form and meaning have changed over time Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Wine is an Alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of Grape juice In Chemistry, an alcohol is any Organic compound in which a Hydroxyl group ( - O[[hydrogen H]]) is bound to a Carbon
