  1. This is the chemical formula for Ethene Polymerisation By Aaron ball This is the chemical formula for Propene

  2. Types of Alkenes • There are a lot of Alkenes in the world. • The most basic formula for an Alkene is Ethene. • One of the most complex chemical formula is Hexene. • All Alkenes have a double bond in the formula and they are all Hydrocarbons

  3. Polymers • Polymerisation is made by forming a long chain from alkene monomers. • A compound made by polymerisation is called a polymer. • A monomer is the building block unit that is used to make the polymer. An example is Ethene is the monomer and polythene the polymer.

  4. Saturated and Unsaturated • Alkenes are unsaturated and alkanes are saturated. • So Alkanes can not be used for polymerisation • This type of polymerisation is called addition polymerisation.
