Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The monomer of polyethylene is:
A
Propene
B
Ethene
C
Ethylene
D
Polyethene
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polyethylene is the most common plastic. The monomer is ethylene, a gaseous hydrocarbon with the formula C2H4 which can be viewed as a pair of methylene groups connected to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polyethylene is primarily made up of the monomer ethylene. Ethylene is a chemical compound with the formula C2H4.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polyethylene is produced from ethylene, and although ethylene can be produced from renewable resources, it is mainly obtained from petroleum or natural gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polyethylene is produced using the polymerization of ethylene (or ethene) monomer. Polyethylene is made by expansion or extremist polymerization of ethylene (olefin) monomers. Ziegler-Natta and Metallocene impetuses are utilized to complete polymerization of polyethylene.
