Carbene  is :CH₂ (i.e, methylene) which contains one neutral divalent carbon atom with valency of two  and two unshared valence electrons. Carbene is of two types: Singlet carbene and Triplet carbene. Carbenes are very short lived and unstable. It is highly reactive intermediate. General carbene which refers to specific species methylene ( :CH₂) contains two hydrogen atoms. Carbene is one of the very important intermediate of various organic synthesis.

<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>

What is the chemical structure of coal?<br>What is the molecular weight of coal? ​
nydimaria [60]

1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).
