Polythene is industrially prepared by the polymerisation of-
|
|
acetylene
|
|
|
ethylene
|
|
|
methane
|
|
|
styrene
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To prepare polythene, the monomer ethylene is first converted into a polymer. This is done by passing ethylene gas through a catalyst at a high temperature. The polymer chains then grow by linking together to form a long, repeating chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polyethylene is an addition polymer that is created by the polymerization of ethylene monomer units as its name implies. Ethylene can be polymerized by a radical mechanism under very high pressures and temperatures with the addition of an organic peroxide radical initiator.
