1
Q
What are the two types of polymerisation?
A
Addition and Condensation
2
Q
When is an addition polymer formed?
A
When unsaturated monomers react to form a polymer.
Monomers contain C=C bonds.
2
Q
Why are poly(alkenes) non-biodegradable?
A
Poly(alkenes) are chemically inert due to the strong C-C and C-H bonds and non-polar nature of the bonds and therefore are non-biodegradable.
3
Q
When do chains form?
A
Chain forms when same basic unit is repeated over and over.
4
Q
Draw the polymer for But-2-ene.
A
5
Q
What are the two most common types of condensation polymers?
A
polyesters and polyamides which involve the formation of an ester linkage or an amide linkage.
