Explanation a) Polypropylene Polyethylene is the simplest polymer formed from ethene. A section of polyethylene containing five molecules can be formed as follows: − CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 − Propylene contains three methyl groups which are directly attached to the central carbon atom. It can be shown as follows: The hydrogen atoms are replaced by methyl groups on alternating carbon atoms to produce polypropylene from polyethylene. It can be shown as follows: b) Polyacrylonitrile Polyethylene is the simplest polymer formed from ethene. A section of polyethylene containing five molecules can be formed as follows: − CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 -CH 2 CH 2 − Acrylonitrile contains nitrile groups which are directly attached to the central carbon atom
