Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Polymers (Section 4 - No. 43)
Which of the following is a characteristic of addition polymers?
They are formed by monomers with a functional group that allows chain growth.
They are formed by the elimination of a small molecule, such as water.
The polymer's repeating unit has the same atomic composition as the monomer.
The monomers contain an amide group.
Explanation
In addition polymers, the repeating unit is the same as the monomer because no atoms are lost in the polymerization.
