4.1.3 Alkenes: Addition polymerisation Flashcards
1
Q
what are polymers?
A
long-chain molecules that are made up of many repeating units
2
Q
what are monomers?
A
a small molecules used to form polymers
3
Q
what are addition polymers formed from?
A
alkenes which are short chain monomers, which join together to form long chain polymers
4
Q
how is the repeating unit formed?
A
the double cc bond of the alkene
