Ethene is prepared industrially by
A
Reforming
B
Polymerization
C
Distillation
D
Cracking
correct option: d
Ethene is produced from cracking which involves breaking up large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller and more useful bits. This is achieved by using high temperatures and pressures without a catalyst.
