yeah, the systematic name of the monomer for pvc is chloroethene.

Yes styrene is the common name for phenylethene. As for polystyrene, the IUPAC name for it is polyphenylethene.

styrene has 2 systemcatic names, just remember both, i do anyways cos in multiple choice, they test one or the other so its good to know both.

systematic name for styrene = ethylbenzene or phenylethene
