addition polymers Flashcards
1
Q
addition polymerisation
A
where many monomers join together to form polymers
2
Q
in addition polymers why does the repeating unit have the same atoms as the monomer
A
no other molecule is formed in the reaction
3
Q
how do alkenes form polymers?
A
a catalyst and high pressure are used to break the double bond, this then forms a repeating chain of monomers with single bonds, forming a polymer
