Resource summary

Polymerisation
  1. addition polymerisation
    1. can be constructed when the displayed formula of its monomer is given
      1. the process in which many alkene polymers react to give a polymer
        1. a long chain is made until it is stopped
          1. poly.....
            1. reaction causes the double bond in the monomer to break and each of the two carbon atoms forms a new bond
            2. involves the reaction of many unsaturated monomer mloecules to form a saturated polymer
            3. displayed formula:
              1. a long chain
                1. the pattern repeating every two carbon atoms
                  1. two brackets
                    1. an "n" after the brackets
                    2. monomer
                      1. can be constructed when the displayed formula of its additional polymer is given
