'''Ethylene''' is a two-[[carbon]] [[alkene]]. Its [[chemical formula]] is CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub> (or C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>), and it's structure is as shown here:

In a three-dimensional model, this same ethylene molecule might look like this:

Ethylene is involved with the process of [[fruit]] ripening. This is why apples (which produce large amounts of ethylene during ripening) will speed the ripening process of any other fruit they are near.
