no, chloroethene is not an alkane as all alkanes end with an -ane so chloroethene will be an alkene as it ends with -ene.
A compound beginning with 'Poly' is a chain of alkenes of the structural formulae combined together. This is because the double bond in an alkene breaks, and forms a bond with a Carbon in another alkene that has a broken double bond.
Chloroethene is C2H3Cl, and is a key ingredient in PVC (poly-vinyl chloride). The balancedequation for this reaction is: 2C2H3Cl + 5O2 --> 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HCl.
It is an alkene
Polypropylene is a versatile polymer. It is used both as a plastic and as a fiber. Polypropylene is also known as polypropene. Polypropene is a polymer made up of monomers of propene (an alkene). In the presence of high pressure, high heat and the use of a catalyst, these monomers undergo an addition reaction whereby the monomers are joined together into a long chain known as a polymer. Nomenclature can be derived from "poly" meaning 'many' and "propene" the alkene with three carbon particles.
The formula for chloroethene is C2H3Cl. Chloroethene is known as vinyl chloride. It is an example of an organic synthesis compound.
