Polyethylene is a polymer made from ethane molecules that have been joined together what is ethane in this polymer?

In polyethylene, ethane molecules are converted into ethylene molecules through a process called cracking. Ethylene molecules are then polymerized to form the long chains of polyethylene. Ethane serves as the starting material for the production of ethylene, which is the building block of polyethylene.
