Question

Which polymerization occurs among the molecules containing double bonds?

Answer 1

Polymers

• Polymerization is the reaction of a large number of monomer molecules to form a polymer.
• Polymers are large compounds produced by joining together smaller repeating chemical components called monomers, whether natural or synthetic.
• Types of polymerization reactions are addition and condensation.

Addition polymerization

• Chain growth polymerization is another name for addition polymerization.
• Initiators are used to treat alkenes in small amounts.
• Addition polymerization occurs when double bonds are formed in a molecule.
• The growing chain's reactive end is added to the monomer's double bond, causing the chain to grow.
• The formation of reactive intermediates such as free radicals, carbocations, and carnations occurs.
• The polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene to form Teflon is an example of addition polymerization.
