    Polymerization is the process of joining small molecules called monomers into long chains called polymers. In addition polymerization, monomers containing double bonds break those bonds to join together into long chains, as seen in the polymerization of ethene into polyethene. Condensation polymerization involves monomers reacting to eliminate a small molecule like water, joining the monomers and forming strong covalent bonds to create polymers like polyesters and polyamides.

    Addition/Condensation Polymerisation Key notes

    Worksheet
    The word Polymer has its origins in Greek, Poly
    meaning _______ and Mer meaning _________.
    The single units are joined together to form long chains.
    Large molecules like these are known as _____________.
    A __________ is a substance made of macromolecules.
    When the colourless gas ethene is heated to high
    temperature, pressure and with a suitable ___________ ,
    the ethene molecules double bonds break and the
    monomer molecules ______ together into long chains.
    Below is the reaction that produces poly(ethene)
    [Polythene]

    This can be shown in a short hand form:

    How could you represent the addition polymerisation of


    chloroethene?

    Summary: In addition polymerisation, there is only one type of


    monomer. These monomers will contain double bonds, these
    double bonds break, allowing the monomer to join together. Can
    you tell me the key aspects of Condensation polymerisation?
