Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerization of ethene involves the bonding of multiple ethene monomers to form a long chain polymer. The repeating unit of the polymer would consist of the ethene monomer, which is a double bond between two carbon atoms, and any additional groups that may be present (such as substituents or functional groups). Option E represents the repeating unit of a polyethylene polymer, which is formed by the polymerization of ethene.
