[edit] Butadiene

I would have preferred if this article had stayed on the Butadiene page, instead of being moved to 1,3-Butadiene.

  • A lot of people who talk about 1,3-butadiene simply called it butadiene; probably most people. The 1,3-isomer is usually understood.
  • I think it's a good idea up to bring up front the fact that what most people call butadiene is actually 1,3-butadiene and that that a different 1,2-butadiene exists.
  • Some may call the compound buta-1,3-diene, adding another complication to the works.

Otherwise the article can be written as before, covering 1,3-butadiene in detail with a Table of Properties and minimally mentioning 1,2-butadiene without a Table of Properties.

I think it would be a good idea to cover or at least mention as many compounds as practicable in Wikipedia, even though there may not be enough material on individual ones to merit their own articles or their own Tables of Properties. One way to do this is to cover or mention such less important compounds in related Wikipedia articles, whether it is with or without Tables of Properties. I've started writing up a list of such compounds/articles offline with recommendations on each case, but I haven't finished yet. H Padleckas 06:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Phase

Liquid at 25C and b.p. -4C? 59.94.132.207 06:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

It is a gas at 25 C unless pressurized. I corrected the liquid density statement to reflect that it is at -6 C. --Ed (Edgar181) 11:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Full Formula?

How about we put CH2CHCHCH2 somewhere? I know there's CH2=CHCH=CH2 in one of the equations, but it would be easier to have the first one, for searching the formula if someone does not know the name. 75.5.5.196 (talk) 23:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)minidude09
