(-CH2=CH2-)n --> (-CH2-CH2-)n
Ethylene --> Polythene
Ethylene --> Polythene

Yes you are correct.

Ethylene polymerises to give polyethylene or polythene.

Actually monomer of polythene is ethene right?
Dnyaneshwar said:

Because polythene is prepared from ethylene.

Because Polymers are formed from joining together of monomers. Therefore, many molecules of ethylene will form polythene.

No.of monomers are called polymers. So ethylene monomers are called polythene.

Ethylene is the Monomer. The reaction is in the following way.
Polymerization.
CH2=CH2 ------------------> (--CH2-CH2--)n
Monomer Polymer.
Polymerization.
CH2=CH2 ------------------> (--CH2-CH2--)n
Monomer Polymer.

Yes @Bikash is right.
Polymerization process is different depends of catalyst, temperature. Process involve initiation, propagation and termination. Based on that we got LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, UHMWPE etc.

Polythene polymer form by addition polymerization reaction. In the formation polythene polymer repeated addition of unsaturated ethylene monomer takes place.
Reaction of formation of polythene polymer is n Ch2 = Ch2+\'(-Ch2-Ch2-)n ethylene, poly-ethylene.
Reaction of formation of polythene polymer is n Ch2 = Ch2+\'(-Ch2-Ch2-)n ethylene, poly-ethylene.
