Q
Polymer vs. monomer properties
A
They are different
5
Q
Addition reaction
A
The same or different monomers bond together via rearrangement of bonds with out loss of any atoms/molecules
6
Q
Condensation polymers
A
Formed by a condensation reaction where the same or different monomers bond together and a molecule (like water) is lost
