Polymers do not usually have exact formulas, but this polymer, also known as poly(vinyl chloride), has the approximate formula H2-(CHCl - CH2)n- CHCl=CH2, where n represents an integer for each particular polymer chain length but may have a non-integer average for a normal sample of the material. Note that only one double bond remains in the entire chain, but it is not necessarily at the end of the chain as shown above, and the bonds to chlorine do not necessarily occur on every alternate carbon atom within the chain.
