Comdemsation Polymera

Question 1

How can polymers be made

Answer 1

Condensation polymerisation

Question 2

What does condensation polymerisation involve

Answer 2

Monomers which contain different functional groups

Question 3

The monomers react together and form bonds between them to make polymer chains for each new bond that forms something is lost

Answer 3

A small molecule is lost this is why it’s called condensation polymerisation

Question 4

What are the simplest types of condensation polymers contain

Answer 4

Two different types of monomer each with two of the same functional groups

Question 5

Differences between the number of types of monomers in addition polarisation and condensation polymerisation

Answer 5

Addition polymerisation only has one type monomer containing a double C bond
Condensation polymerisation to monotypes each containing to the same functional group
Or
one monomer type with two different functional groups

Question 6

Number of products formed an additional privatisation and condensation polymerisation

Answer 6

Addition polarisation only one product is formed
condensation polymerisation two types of product polymer and a small molecule

Question 7

Functional groups involved in addition polarisation and condensation polymerisation

Answer 7

Addition polymerisation carbon double bond in a monomer
Condensation polymerisation to reactive groups on each monomer
