What is the Name of the small molecule used to make polythene?
Poly(methylene) is the IUPAC name of polyethene. But IUPAC also suggest polyethene to be a correct usage.
What does ethene have that polyethene does not?
double bonds
What is polyethene used to make?
plastic bags such as sandwich bags
What happens to ethene makes polyethene?
It is made by a process called polymerization, this is where they take lots of monomers (in this case ethane) and combine them together using an addition reaction. This is only possible in monomer where there is a double bond as to add them the double bond has to break for there to be enough room on the carbon for the new monomer. this process is done millions of times and is finally makes polythene which is used to make bin liners and poly bags.
Is the formation of polyethylene from ethylene a chemical reaction?
Polyethene is created through the polymerization of ethene. Under the right conditions of temperature, pressure and catalysis, the double bond of the ethene monomer opens up and many monomers link up to form long chains. Polyethene manufacturing processes are usually categorized into "high pressure" and "low pressure" operations. The former is generally recognized as producing conventional low density polyethene (LDPE) while the latter makes high density (HDPE) polyethene. The difference between these polyethene processes is that LDPE is formed at 1000 - 3000 bar and 80 - 300 degrees C in the presence of minute quantities of oxygen, and HDPE is formed at 10 - 80 bar and 70 - 300 degrees C in the presence of an aluminium-based catalyst.

What are polymers made from ethene?
Polyethylene also know as polyethene. Found commonly in plastic bags.
What are the uses of polyethene?
Polyethene can be used to make carry bags. Many apparel stores pack the newly bought items in Polyethene bags for the customers to transport them easily.
Is polyethene a hydrocarbon?
No
What does polyethylene look like?
Polythene, also known as polyethene is a polymer made up of ethene monomers. They are joined up together in a long chain to form poylethene. Polyethene is a plastic what burns well and is insoluble in water.
What is the structural formula for polyethene?
Polyethene seems to be a variant spelling of polyethylene, or polythene. I have include the Wikipedia link.
