The three structural forms of poly(alkenes)

Isotactic

Isotactic polymers have all their R-groups pointing in the same direction.

Syndiotactic

Syndiotactic polymers have their R-groups pointing in alternating directions.

Atactic

Atactic polymers have no regularity in the direction of their R-groups.
