The video tutorial explains the process of addition polymerization using alkenes. It begins with an introduction to polymerization, followed by a detailed explanation of the mechanism where the double bond in alkenes breaks to form polymers. The tutorial covers the formation of polyethene from ethene, the creation of PVC from chloroethene, and the structure of polypropene. It concludes with naming conventions for halogenated alkenes and their resulting polymers.
