but in our textbook it asks for the name of the polymer of butane!!!!
It cant be!
As far as I know, in polymeristaion the double bonds break and form continuous chains............. or something...........so its definately not alkanes!

It's probably then hydartion reaction, because with the use of butene, water, and an acid catalyst like, H3P04 or sulfuric acid YOU CAN have butane.

But as sj0007 said this can't be an Alkane coz usually polymerization only happens with alkene so...
