Addition Polymers

Question 1

What are polymers

Answer 1

Long molecules fun with lots of molecules called monomers join together

Question 2

What does polymerisation need

Answer 2

A high pressure and a catalyst

Question 3

What are plastics made up of

Answer 3

Polymers they are usually carbon based and then monomers are often alkenes

Question 4

What do the monomers that make up addition polymers have

Answer 4

A double covalent bond

Question 5

How do unsaturated monomer molecule (alkenes) join together

Answer 5

Open up the double bonds to join together in a polymer chains

Question 6

What is the only product from addition polymerisation

Answer 6

The only product is the polymer so in addition polymer contains the exact same type in number of atoms is the monomer that formed it
