Polymerisation Flashcards
1
Q
Polymers
A
Large molecules created from small molecules called monomers joined together.
2
Q
Addition Polymerisation
A
Produces a single product.
Produced from one type of monomer.
Monomers contain a double-carbon bond.
3
Q
Condensation Polymerisation
A
A small molecule (such as hydrogen) is lost from the reaction.
