Interpretation:
To differentiate addition and condensation polymer and give each one of the example for these
Concept Introduction:
Polymers can be classified as
Polymer:
A chemical species of very high molecular weight is made up of low molecular weight monomers linked together is known as “polymers”.
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 |
Differentiation between addition and condensation polymer and example for each of these polymers has been given.
