Expert Solution
Step 1

A polymer is a large molecule that is formed by the repetition of small units called a monomer, and the process of polymer formation is known as polymerization.

Addition polymerization: The polymer is formed by the simple addition of the monomer unit without forming any by-product. In this type of polymerization, the monomer contains carbo-carbon double bonds.
