Morphology
butadiene = buta + diene
The word is built from specialized chemical combining forms ('buta-' for a four-carbon chain and 'diene' for two double bonds); these are technical morphemes unfamiliar to average learners, so the meaning is not derivable from common English vocabulary.
Etymology
Butadiene comes from three parts: buta- meaning 'four' as in butane, di- meaning 'two', and -ene meaning 'double bond'. So butadiene is a small molecule with four carbon atoms and two double bonds, which is why it is used to make synthetic rubber.
