Polymerisation

Does anybody know the diagram for polymerisation of poly(propene)? When I have researched it it just comes up with the polymerisation for poly(ethene).

Thanks

It is the same, just remove on the Hs off ethene and replace it with a CH3.

Did you look for that one ?

As pigster said, you have to remove a H-atome by the methyl group CH3. And you have a diagram for that macromolecule. According to this the chemical formula for that repeat unit is C3H6
