Chemical symbol for ethene?
The chemical formula for ethene (an alkene) is C2H4.
Is ethene a monomer or a polymer?
Ethene ( C2H4 ) is the monomere of the polymere 'polyethene'(also called polyene, short name: PE, symbol: (C2H4)n )
What type of chemical bond is C2H4?
Ethene has C=C and C-H covalent bonds. It is easily depicted using a dot and cross diagram.
Why is ethene regarded as unsaturated hydrocarbon?
As ethene contains double bond it is considered as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Note-hydrocarbon is said to saturated when it contain C-C single bond and hydrocarbon is said to unsaturated when it has carbon carbon double or triple bonds
What is the monomer use to make polythene?
This monomer is ethene (or ethylene) - C2H4.
