Polymerisation of propene & chloroethene

The video tutorial covers the formation of polychloroethene (PVC) and polypropylene, including their polymerization processes and uses. It begins with a review of ethene polymerization, then explains the polymerization of chloroethene to form PVC, highlighting its applications in windows, doors, and pipes. The tutorial also covers the polymerization of propene to form polypropylene, noting its strength and resistance to fatigue and temperature, making it suitable for hinges, medical equipment, and kitchenware. By the end, viewers should be able to write equations for these polymerizations and identify their uses.
