From alkene to polymer

Addition polymerisation of ethene showing ethene monomers with C=C bonds forming a poly(ethene) chain and repeating unit

An alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a carbon-carbon double bond, C=CC=CC=C. This C=CC=CC=C bond is the functional group of alkenes and the part that reacts in addition polymerisation.
