Explanation Addition polymer are the polymer obtained from the addition of the monomer units by creating bond between them. Each unit of monomer creates bond between them to produce a long chain of polymer. Condensation polymers are obtained from the removal of groups like water molecules after the reaction of two monomer units. If the monomer units cannot form bond with other monomer units that involved removal of groups thus, they cannot undergo condensation polymerization. In an addition to polymerization, the polymers are formed by addition of two monomer units thus, no other side product is formed. An example of an addition polymerization is formation of polyethylene which is shown as follows:

Question

Chapter 23, Problem 34QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concept used to determine whether the given monomer is capable of undergoing addition or condensation polymerization needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A polymer is a long chain consists of large number of monomer units. In a polymer, the monomers are linked to each other in a continuous or repetitive manner. These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage, glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule. Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the examples of polymers.
