Question

What is Polymerization? Explain with reaction the formation of polyethene.

Answer 1

The most simple polymerization reactions involve the formation of polymers from alkenes via free-radical reaction. Polyethylene, which is one of the most commercially important polymers, is prepared via such a polymerization process (the reactant monomer used here is ethylene).

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

number of molecules of the same compound combined together to form a large molecule of heavy atomic mass under the effect of high pressure this reaction is called polymerization.

n(CH2=CH2)----------------→ -(-CH2-CH2-)

V 200°C,1200atm V
