Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The type of polymerization reaction that produces byproducts should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Polymerization − the process in which low molecular weight monomer molecules reacts with each other in a chemical reaction to form a macromolecule having high molecular weight.
There are two main types of chemical reactions for the polymerization,
- Step growth polymerization
- Chain growth polymerization.
