acetylene

(C2H2, ethyne)
(compound of two carbon and two hydrogen atoms)

Acetylene (C2H2 or ethyne) is a hydrocarbon compound of two carbon and two hydrogen atoms. The carbon atoms are between, the two joined by a triple bond, i.e., H-C≡C-H. At Earth atmospheric pressure and temperature, it is a gas. It is fairly common in the universe, and often in the atmosphere of gas giants.
