What does ethene have that polyethene does not?
double bonds
Linear thermoplastic polymer with reference to polyethene?
THERMOPLASTIC Linear
What is polyethene used to make?
plastic bags such as sandwich bags
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.
Why polythene has high melting point?
Because, it has no crosslinks therefore its molecules move more freely. On the other hand, some other polymers, such as Bakelite, are crosslinked and you cannot turn then into a liquid without breaking the covalent bond.
What is polyethene made from?
it is a polymer of ethene
Is Polyethene man made or natural?
Man made
What are water bottles made out of?
high density polyethene
Why are plastic bags made from polyethene?
otherwise they couldnt be plastic
What is plastic carrier bags made up of?
Polyethene and natural solids from underground
What does polyethylene look like?
Polythene, also known as polyethene is a polymer made up of ethene monomers. They are joined up together in a long chain to form poylethene. Polyethene is a plastic what burns well and is insoluble in water.
What are polymers made from ethene?
Polyethylene also know as polyethene. Found commonly in plastic bags.
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?
No
What is the structural formula for polyethene?
Polyethene seems to be a variant spelling of polyethylene, or polythene. I have include the Wikipedia link.

Describe the formation of polyethene as an example of additional polymerisation of monomer units?
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.
