• Atoms

Jonathan is studying addition polymers in his chemistry class. Which of the following statements about addition polymers is correct?

• The monomer of an addition polymer must be an alkene.

• They must be made from one type of monomer only.

• The polymerization process releases a small molecule as a by-product.

• Addition polymers are typically formed through condensation polymerization.

During a science project, Jonathan and Ethan were discussing different types of materials. Jonathan mentioned that some materials are made through a process called addition polymerization. He asked Ethan, "Which of the following is an example of a polymer formed by addition polymerization?"
