Tutorial on Addition and Condensation Polymerization Reaction.

• Monomers with double bonds (unsaturated)• Addition reaction • Repeating units joined together by covalent bonds without loss of any molecule

Polymerization

Polymerization• Polymers are long chains molecules • Joining large number of repeating units called monomers• Known as plastics• Addition and condensation polymerization

• Monomers with different functional gps.• Condensation reaction • Repeating units joined together by covalent bonds with a loss of water/HCI molecule• Polyester – carboxyl and hydroxyl gp join together (ester link)• Polyamide - carboxyl and amine gp join together (amide link)

Addition polymerization Condensation polymerization
