Poly(propene) is an addition polymer made from propene monomers.

A molecule of propene is shown in Figure 1.

A structural formula of a propene molecule. From left to right: a carbon atom is single-bonded to three hydrogen atoms, and single-bonded to a middle carbon atom. This middle carbon atom is single-bonded to one hydrogen atom and double-bonded to a right-hand carbon atom. The right-hand carbon atom is single-bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

On Figure 1, draw a circle around the functional group that allows this molecule to undergo addition polymerisation.
