Question

What is the process in which alkene monomers join end-to-end, or add on to one another, to form chains?

a. Daisy polymerization
c. Substitution polymerization
b. Addition polymerization
d. Doldrum polymerization

Answer 1

ALKENES LIKE ETHYLENE JOIN END TO END TO FORM POLYETHYLENE BY ADDITION POLYMERIZATION TO FORM A LONG CHAIN SINCE THEY ARE UNSATURATED.

Answer 2

Answer: b. Addition polymerization

Step-by-step explanation:

Polymerization is a chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers combine together to result into bigger molecules called as polymers.

Condensation polymerization : A chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers are joined to form a bigger molecule called as polymer and small by products are also formed along with the polymer. Example: Nylon-6

Addition polymerization : A chemical reaction in which small units called as monomers are joined end to end to form a bigger molecule called as polymer. Example: Polythene
