Polymerization by Addition

What is the primary characteristic of polymerization by addition?

• Monomers join by gaining simple molecules.

• Monomers join without losing any simple molecules.

• Monomers join by losing simple molecules.

• Monomers join by exchanging simple molecules.

In the polymerization process, what role does the carbon-carbon double bond play?

• It causes the monomers to repel each other.

• It is not involved in the polymerization process.

• It allows monomers to join by breaking and forming new bonds.

• It prevents the monomers from joining.

What happens to the carbon-carbon double bond during polymerization?

• It remains unchanged.

• It transforms into a triple bond.

• It disappears completely.

• It breaks and forms a single bond.

What is the result of the polymerization process?

• Formation of a gaseous compound.

• Formation of a short chain.

• Formation of a long polymer chain.

• Formation of a single monomer.

Why is the process called 'polymerization by addition'?

• Because monomers are added to a double bond.

• Because monomers are added to a triple bond.

• Because monomers are added to a quadruple bond.

• Because monomers are added to a single bond.
