Polyethene (polythene, polyethylene) is a chemical product.
This reaction is called polymerization.
Yes, polythene is a man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is produced from ethylene, a chemical derived from petroleum.
-(CH2-CH2-)n, n= a large number
Yes, polythene is made of repeating units of ethylene, which is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The chemical formula for polythene is (C2H4)n, where n represents a large number of repeating units.
This depends on the material: polythene, polypropylene, teflon etc.
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, is a synthetic polymer made from ethylene, a compound derived from natural gas and petroleum. It is not a natural material as it is man-made through chemical processes in industry.
Polythene (regardless of density) is a thermoplastic.
Polythene.
The polymer "polythene".
Petrol cannot be directly prepared from polythene. Polythene is a type of plastic made from ethylene, while petrol is a refined product derived from crude oil. The process of converting polythene back into its original components for potential further refining into fuel is complex, involves high temperatures, and is not commonly practiced on a large scale.
Polythene, also known as polyethylene, was first synthesized by German chemist Hans von Pechmann in 1898. However, it was not until 1933 that the first practical method for producing polythene was developed by British chemists Eric Fawcett and Reginald Gibson at Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). Their work led to the commercialization of polythene, which has since become one of the most widely used plastics.
A polythene rod is a rod made from polyethylene, a type of plastic known for its flexibility, high chemical resistance, and low electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in various applications such as insulation, packaging, and manufacturing of plastic products.
