Question

Linking monomers using new bonds to form a long chain is an example of a/an _______ reaction. A. addition B. subtraction C. substitution D. decomposition

Answer 1

I believe it's A. Addition.

Answer 2

Answer is: addition.

This is example of polymerization (addition of monomers to form polymer).

For example, plastic is organic polymers of high molecular mass derived from petrochemicals.

Another example, starch (carbohydrate) is a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units (monomers) bonded by glycosidic bond.

Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer styrene.
