The formula CH2 describes a molecule made of 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. It is written in Hill notation: carbon first, then hydrogen, then the other elements in alphabetical order. The formula tells you which atoms are present, not how they are connected, which is why several different chemicals can share it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the molar mass of CH2?
The molar mass of CH2 is 14.03 g/mol, calculated from standard atomic weights for 1 carbon atom and 2 hydrogen atoms. The monoisotopic mass is 14.0157 Da.
How many compounds have the formula CH2?
CompoundList lists 1 compound with the molecular formula CH2, including Methylene. Compounds that share a formula are isomers. They contain the same atoms arranged differently, so their properties, uses and prices can be very different.
What is the degree of unsaturation of CH2?
CH2 has a degree of unsaturation of 1. That is the total number of rings and pi bonds (a double bond counts as one, a triple bond as two) in any structure with this formula.
