Ethylene is produced mainly through catalytic and thermal cracking of petroleum fractions. It is used to produce numerous polymers through addition reactions. Polyethylene is an important addition polymer formed from ethylene monomers linking together in chains. Its properties depend on factors like chain length, branching, and presence of substituents. Other significant polymers include polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene, both formed from vinyl chloride and styrene monomers respectively. Unsaturated hydroc
