No such chemical as ' polyethane'. I think you means 'POLYETHENE', note the spelling.

Polythethene contains only two elements, viz. hydrogen and carbon.

The monmer is ethene (H2C=CH2).

This monomer breaks at the double bond to form polyethene. It is represented by the symbol .

-[-H2C - CH2-]- (n)

NB Polyvinylchloride contains three elements. viz. carbon, hydrogen and chlorine. #The monomer is H2C=CHCl

The polymer is represented by -[H2C- CHCl-]-(n)

Neither polyethylene nor polyethene contain three elements. If polyethane was a compound, it would not either. All of these compounds are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
