There are almost limitless numbers of monomers in use for polymer manufacture. If you look at the names of polymer types you will see that monomers must come from very many basic chemical families - polyesters are made from diacids and diols, polyolefines are made from alkenes, nylons are made from diacids and diamines, polyvinyls are made from substituted ethylenes, polyacrylics are made from substituted and pure acrylic acid (propenoic acid) etc. etc etc.
Many polymers use mixed types of monomer.
ethene is the answer dont read this wrong and long thing this person above wrote.

synthetic
Why is Teflon a plastic?
Teflon is a trade name for PolyTetraFluoroEthylene -PTFE. It is made by polymerization of Tetra Fluoro Ethylene CF2=CF2 and thus because it is a synthetic polymer it is generically called a plastic and in addition it has properties of a plastic.
What are natural and synthetic polymers?
A natural polymer would be rubber which is obtained from nature. A synthetic polymer would be polybutadiene which behaves like rubber.
Is basketball polymer natural or synthetic?
neither
Is orlon a synthetic polymer?
yes , it is a polyacrylonitrile.
Is rayon a synthetic polymer?
Not truly. Neither is it a natural fibre. It is manufactured from cellulose, which is a naturally occurring polymer. It's regarded as "semi-synthetic", or "artificial".
