Understanding Addition Polymerization

What is the role of double bonds in the polymerization of ethene?

• They break open to allow the formation of a polymer chain.

• They remain intact throughout the process.

• They prevent the formation of polymers.

• They convert into triple bonds.

What is the name of the polymer formed from ethene?

• Polyethylene

• Polystyrene

• Polypropene

• Polyethene

How are the monomers aligned during the polymerization process?

• They are aligned in a zigzag pattern.

• They are randomly scattered.

• They form a circular structure.

• They line up next to each other to form full bonds.

What is the primary characteristic of addition polymerization?

• It involves the formation of multiple products.

• It requires a catalyst to proceed.

• It results in a single product with no byproducts.

• It is an endothermic reaction.

What should you do to practice predicting polymerization products?

• Use different alkenes and predict the products.

• Use alkanes instead of alkenes.

• Only use ethene for practice.

• Avoid practicing with alkenes.
