Condensation Polymers vs Addition Polymers

Question 1

how are condensation polymers made

Answer 1

monomers join to make a polymer a smaller molecule will be removed

Question 2

how are addition polymers made

Answer 2

monomers join to make polymers –> no other substance formed

Question 3

what type of molecules are the monomers in condensation polymers

Answer 3

two functional groups

Question 4

what type of molecules are the monomers in addition polymerss

Answer 4

alkenes C=C

Question 5

what happens to form polyesters

Answer 5

dicarboxylic acid reacts with diol (both monomers with two functional groups)
and the dicarboxylic acid loses its OH
the diol loses a H
this forms a H2O

However to show they continue to join we remove the OH and H from the outer sides and this makes it 2H2O

Question 6

what is an addition polymer

Answer 6

alkene which has had high pressure and catalyst to form long chain of them without double bond (poly)

Question 7

how do we write an equation for forming a polyester

Answer 7

put n infront of both the dicarboxylic acid and diol and then place the polyester as its repeating unit and n on the outside aswell as 2n H2O
