Chapter 24, Problem 24.1QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To differentiate addition and condensation polymer and give each one of the example for these polymers.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers can be classified as addition polymer and condensation polymer. Addition polymers are the one which are formed without the loss of any small molecules.  Usually compounds with vinylic bonds involve in addition polymerizationCondensation polymers are the one which are formed with the loss of small molecules such as water, ammonia etc.

Polymer:

A chemical species of very high molecular weight is made up of low molecular weight monomers linked together is known as “polymers”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Differentiation between condensation and addition polymer are as follows,

Addition Polymer Condensation Polymer
Low molecular weight monomers have multiple bonds by linking together that undergo addition reaction.  These polymers are known as " addition polymers" Condensation polymers are formed by loss of small molecules when monomers combine.  These polymers are known as " condensation polymers"
Only one kind of monomers were used. Two kind of monomers were used
Example is polypropylene Example is Nylon 6,6
Conclusion

Differentiation between addition and condensation polymer and example for each of these polymers has been given.
