1
Q
What can alkenes be used to make?
A
Polymers such as polyethene and ploypropene
2
Q
What happens in addition polymerisation reactions?
A
Many small molecules (monomers) join together to make very large molecules called polymers
3
Q
Are any other products formed in addition polymerisation?
A
No - each repeating unit in the polymer has the same atoms as the monomer
4
Q
What do monomers contain?
A
Double bonds which break during the reaction
