Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Polymers (Section 3 - No. 7)
Which statement best describes the process of addition polymerization?
Monomers join together with the elimination of a small molecule.
Monomers are joined together through the formation of an ester linkage.
Monomers react with each other to form a polymer and no other products.
Monomers react to form a polymer via the elimination of water.
Forklaring
Addition polymerization involves monomers combining without the loss of any atoms; no small molecule is released.
