Define polymerization. Explain addition polymerization with at least one example.

1 Answer

Answer :

Polymerization: - “The process in which a large number of small molecules (monomers) linking together to form a large molecule (polymer) under specific conditions of temperature, pressure & catalyst is known as polymerization.

Explanation:

Addition Polymerization: It is the process in which the monomers undergo repeated addition, resulting in the formation of long chain polymer without the elimination of any other molecule.

i) Only monomers having C = C in their structure undergo this type of polymerization.

ii) It is fast and exothermic reaction.

iii) It requires a catalyst.

iv) No byproduct is obtained.

v) It yields polymer having linear chain structure.
