How propene molecules form a polymer?

Answer 1

Propene can undergo addition polymerisation because it consist of a susceptible double bond which can open up and react with other propene molecules to produce a long continuous macromolecule called polypropene.

Answer 2

Well, for one thing, it doesn't have any reactive groups to polymerize WITH. Propene can be polymerized, but early attempts to do so produced polyethylene, not polypropylene as might be expected. This is because the reaction intermediate rearranges to a more stable configuration so that chain propagation proceeds from the end carbon in the chain instead of the carbon one from the end. Polypropylene is formed by polymerizing propene in the presence of a catalyst which prevents this rearrangement. For more details, look up "Ziegler-Natta."

Answer 3

Propene contains a carbon-carbon double bond that, when broken down to a single bond, makes the two carbons become free radicals with one unpaired electron each. These free radicals are extremely reactive and cause a chain reaction in which addition reactions occur over and over in a process called addition polymerization to form polypropylene.

Answer 4

Propene is a monomer. When polymerized it produces polypropylene.
