Carbon(C) + (C) + (C) + (C) + Hydrogen(H) + (H) + (H) + (H) + (H) + (H) + Oxygen(O) = Methyl vinyl ketone (C₄H₆O). It consist of 4 carbon atoms, 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Methyl vinyl ketone is a reactive organic compound classified as an enone. It is a colorless, flammable, highly toxic liquid with a pungent odor.Its alkylating ability is both the source of its high toxicity and the feature that makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. Methyl vinyl ketone is extremely hazardous upon inhalation, causing coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath even at low concentrations. It will also readily cause irritation of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Its melting point is -7 °C, its boiling point is 81.4 °C and its density is 0.8407 g/c,m³
