The structure of propylene is shown. This alkene undergoes addition polymerization to form polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer with many different applications.

The structure of propylene is shown. This alkene undergoes addition polymerization to form polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer with many different applications. FC H CH3 Draw a segment of polypropylene containing three monomer units connected head-to-tail. Connect each end of the segment with a bond to one of the R groups that are already drawn. The R groups represent the connecting carbon atoms in the monomers adjacent to the segment.
