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.

What forms when Ethene combines with sulfur monochloride?

When ethene combines with sulfur monochloride, the reaction forms vinyl sulfide. This is an addition reaction where the double bond in ethene reacts with the sulfur monochloride to form a new carbon-sulfur bond in the product.

How does the process of hydration of ethene occur?

The process of hydration of ethene occurs through the addition of water to ethene in the presence of a catalyst, typically sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid. This reaction forms ethanol, with the double bond in ethene breaking and the hydrogen and hydroxyl groups from water attaching to the carbon atoms.
