Best Answer

Alkene such as ethene contain c=c double bond.Hence these molecules can take part in addition reaction where the double bond is broken and other atoms attach to the carbon across the double bond to form large molecule such as polyethene. Here the ethene is the monomer and polyethene the addition polymer which is formed under high pressure, heat and by using a catalyst.
