Question

What is the monomer unit of polythene

Answer 1

Answer:

ethylene

Here ethylene (ethene) is the monomer, and the corresponding linear polymer is called high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE is composed of macromolecules in which n ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 (molecular weight 2*105 to 3 *106 ).

Explanation:

Alkenes can act as monomers because they are unsaturated : ethene can polymerise to form poly(ethene), also called polythene. propene can polymerise to form poly(propene), also called polypropylene

Answer 2

Answer:

Here ethylene(ethene) is the monomer,and the corresponding liner polymer is called high density polythene
