What does ethene have that polyethene does not?
double bonds
Is the formation of polyethylene from ethylene a chemical reaction?
Polyethene is created through the polymerization of ethene. Under the right conditions of temperature, pressure and catalysis, the double bond of the ethene monomer opens up and many monomers link up to form long chains. Polyethene manufacturing processes are usually categorized into "high pressure" and "low pressure" operations. The former is generally recognized as producing conventional low density polyethene (LDPE) while the latter makes high density (HDPE) polyethene. The difference between these polyethene processes is that LDPE is formed at 1000 - 3000 bar and 80 - 300 degrees C in the presence of minute quantities of oxygen, and HDPE is formed at 10 - 80 bar and 70 - 300 degrees C in the presence of an aluminium-based catalyst.
Linear thermoplastic polymer with reference to polyethene?

What is the Name of the small molecule used to make polythene?
Poly(methylene) is the IUPAC name of polyethene. But IUPAC also suggest polyethene to be a correct usage.
Is polythene a chemical?
Polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) is a chemical product.
How does chemical inertness increase the usefulness of the materials?
These materials can be used in corrosive environments.
What is the electron affinity of argon?
The electron affinity of argon, like all noble gases, is 0, or very close to it, due to its chemical inertness.
What are the uses of polyethene?
Polyethene can be used to make carry bags. Many apparel stores pack the newly bought items in Polyethene bags for the customers to transport them easily.
Is polyethene a hydrocarbon?

What are the effects of metal impurities in iron?
Metal impurities can have many different effects on iron. Some of these effects may include, but are not limited to differences in strength, chemical inertness, and flexibility.
Why is polyethene flexible?
Polyethene is flexible due to the two covalent bonds between its carbon atoms. These double bonds allow it to be flexible.
How is the structure of pla similar to the structure of polyethene?
