Re: Purpose of life????
You mean ethylene?

Re: Purpose of life????
Yes. The IUPAC calls it ethene though

So we have a chemical reaction between the two?

Re: Purpose of life????
Yes, but the ethene is more important.
Do you know what ethene looks like?

Re: Purpose of life????
Yep.
When a phenyl free radical attacks an ethene molecule, one of the two bonds cleave, and a new free radical is formed.
See the second reaction here.
What do you think happens when this free radical bumps into yet another ethene?

Re: Purpose of life????
That's a good one.
This chain could bump into another free radical, possibly another chain or just a phenyl radical and form a covalent bond with no unpaired electrons.

Re: Purpose of life????
Milk production at a dairy farm was low, so the farmer wrote to the local university, asking for help from academia. A multidisciplinary team of professors was assembled, headed by a theoretical physicist, and two weeks of intensive on-site investigation took place. The scholars then returned to the university, notebooks crammed with data, where the task of writing the report was left to the team leader. Shortly thereafter the physicist returned to the farm, saying to the farmer, "I have the solution, but it only works in the case of spherical cows in a vacuum".
