👉 In chemistry, a process of the addition of an oxygen atom to a carbon atom in a molecule is known as carbonylation. It can be thought of as the formation of a functional group on the carbon that has been bonded with an oxygen. For example, in the reaction between ethylene (C2H4) and water (H2O), the oxygen from the water acts as a reducing agent, which means it is replacing the oxygen atom of the carbon. The resulting compound, eth
