Poly ethane is the UPAC name of polyethylene and is known as the most common plastic. Despite the fact that polyethene can be produced from renewable sources, no organisms can decompose them making it non-biodegradable.

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 is the structural formula for polyethene?
Polyethene seems to be a variant spelling of polyethylene, or polythene. I have include the Wikipedia link.

How is the structure of pla different to the structure of polyethene?
PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable polymer made from renewable resources, featuring a linear structure with ester linkages derived from lactic acid, which introduces chirality and can affect its crystallinity. In contrast, polyethene (PE) has a simple, repeating unit of ethylene (C2H4) with a linear or branched structure, consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This difference in chemical composition and molecular structure contributes to PLA's biodegradability and thermal properties, while polyethene is more resistant to degradation and has varied mechanical properties based on its density and branching.
What is polyethene made from?
it is a polymer of ethene
What does ethene have that polyethene does not?
double bonds
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.
What are water bottles made out of?
high density polyethene
Is polyethene a heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous mixture?
Homogenous
Is Polyethene man made or natural?
Man made
How is the structure of pla similar to the structure of polyethene?
Yellow
