What does BUTENE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Any of several isomeric hydrocarbon gases with the formula C4H8, used mainly in making synthetic rubber and plastics.
Butene is closely related to butane but carries a double bond between two of its carbon atoms, which makes it far more reactive and useful as a building block rather than as a fuel. Chemists recognise several isomers of butene, differing only in where that double bond sits along the carbon chain. Industry uses butene mainly as a raw material for synthetic rubber and certain plastics, so the word appears almost entirely in technical and industrial writing.
