Polyethylene also know as polyethene. Found commonly in plastic bags.
What else can I help you with?
What is plastic made out of and where is this source found?
Plastics are generally polymers made out of monomers such as ethene.
Describe How ethene forms poly (ethene)?
Polyethylene, a polymer of ethene, is formed through a process called polymerization. This involves linking together many ethene molecules (monomers) through a series of chemical reactions. The double bond in each ethene molecule is broken, allowing the monomers to join together and form long chains known as polymers.
Which group does ethene belong?
Ethene belongs to the group of organic compounds known as alkenes, which are hydrocarbons containing carbon-carbon double bonds. Ethene, also called ethylene, is a simple and important member of this group due to its use in the production of various chemicals and polymers.
What is the monomer use to make polythene?
This monomer is ethene (or ethylene) - C2H4.
What are the polymers formed from Ethene?
Polymers formed from ethene include polyethylene (PE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). These polymers have a wide range of applications due to their flexibility, durability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. Polyethylene is commonly used in packaging, while EVA is used in footwear, adhesives, and solar cell encapsulation.
What is polyethene made from?
it is a polymer of ethene
What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
How can you make monomer molecules unsaturated?
That depends what the monomer is. Most unsaturated monomers are manufactured commercially from crude oil. Ethene, for instance, is made by cracking the gas oil fraction of crude oil. Vinyl chloride is then made from ethene. Styrene is made from benzene and ethene.
What polymers are made from?
Polymers are made from monomers and there are many of them. They include olefins such as ethylene, propylene, octene etc and their halogenated analogues. There are many other raw materials that polymers are made from.
Are all polymers man made?
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.
What are polymers known as?
Polymers are known as millions of monomers made up to create it
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
