What type of material is a sheet of polythene?
Polythene (polyethylene) sheet is made from polymerized ethylene monomer.
Does hydration of ethylene to form ethanol a type of exothermic reaction?
Yes, the heat of reaction is negative therefore indicating an exothermic reaction
Is polymerize to form polyethylene a chemical or physical?
Polymerization is not a property; it is a type of chemical reaction.
Is polymerization to form polyethylene a chemical or physical property?
Polymerization is not a property; it is a type of chemical reaction.
Can polyethylene terephthalate react with alcohol?
It depends on the type of alcohol in question. Part of the recycling process involves reacting PE with ethylene glycol in order to retrieve the original monomers that can be re-polymerized into new plastic. Though not as widely used anymore, there is a similar reaction that uses methanol instead of ethylene glycol to isolate the dimethyl terephthalate monomer. So in short, yes alcohols can react with PE but it is usually not at STP.
What is the polymer of PVC?
The monomer of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is vinyl chloride!! which is simply a hydrogen atom replaced by a chlorine atom in ethylene (monomer for polyethylene) i.e CH2=CHCl. Hope this helps.
Is polycarbonate strong?

What type organic compound is polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a polymer of ethene. It is a macro molecule.
Is polyethylene a type of synthetic polymer?
Yes, polyethylene is a very important synthetic polymer.
What is polyolefin?
Nylon is a polymer made from 1,6 hexanediamine. Polyethylene is a polymer made from ethylene. These 3 different types of netting are all man made fibres. Nylon and polypropylene (p/p) give softer, more flexible feel whereas polyethylene (p/e) is quite a wiry type of material. Nylon and p/p are used in applications where a curtain or drape effect is needed to take the speed and impact of a hard ball, e.g. cricket and golf.
What type of chemical reaction produces one produce?
One product is produced within a sythesis/combination reaction.
