Question

5. When does the molecular weight of the polymer increase the most during a step-growth polymerization process? A. At the end of polymerization (high conversion) B. At the beginning of polymerization (low conversion) C. At the middle of polymerization (medium conversion) D. The molecular weight of produced polymer chains does not change during polymerization

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
