Reaction equation of ethylene propylene and chlorine gas.
Ethylene: CH2=CH2+Cl2== CH2ClCH2Cl
Propylene: CH3CH2=CH2+Cl2== CH3CH2ClCH2Cl
Polymerization: CH2=CH2+CH3CH2=CH2===--[-- CH2-CH2-CH2-CH --]-- n

The ethylene-polymerization equation is clearly written.
N CH2=CH2-catalyst→-[-CH2-CH2-]-n
The carbon - carbon double bond is broken and polymerized to polyethylene.
N CH2=CH2-catalyst→-[-CH2-CH2-]-n
Carbon - carbon double bond fracture polymerization to form polyethylene.
N CH2=CH2-catalyst→-[-CH2-CH2-]-n
Carbon - carbon double bond fracture polymerization to polyethylene.
