Solution

Answers:

(c) Orlon, and (d) Polystyrene

Addition polymers are formed by the repeated addition of a large number of same or different monomers possessing double and triple bonds.

e.g.,

(i) Orion is obtained by addition polymerisation of acrylonitrile in presence of a peroxide catalyst.

(ii) Polystyrene is obtained by addition polymerisation of styrene.
