Addition polymerisation
Occurs between polymers that a double covalent bond.(Unsaturated monomers) - Alkenes can open up their double covalent bonds and join together to make polymer chains.

When the monomers react in Addition polymerisation what is the Only product and why
The polymer it's self as the two monomers have the same number of atoms and the same as the monomers used to form it
2 of 6
Condensation Polymerisation
Involves monomers which contain different functional groups the monomers react together to form bonds between them.
3 of 6
Condensation Polymerisation pt2
For each bond that is formed a small molecule is lost (mainly water) this is where the name condensation polymerisation comes from
4 of 6
Condensation Polymerisation pt3
The simplest types of condensation polymerisation contain two different monomers each with the same functional group
5 of 6
How many products are there in Condensation polymerisation explain why
2 as the new polymer is formed from the 2 monomers however a small molecule is released during this reaction
