Question

Accepted Answer

Sure, let's complete the table and state the changes that occur during the formation of addition polymers. ### Table Completion | Name of Polymer | Structure of Monomer | Structure of Polymer | One Use for the Polymer | |-----------------|----------------------|----------------------|-------------------------| | Poly(ethene) | $CH_2=CH_2$ | $-(CH_2-CH_2)-$ | Plastic bags | | Poly(propene) | $CH_2=CH-CH_3$ | $-(CH_2-CH(CH_3))-$ | Packaging materials | ### Changes During Polymer Formation 1. **Breaking of Double Bonds**: The double bonds in the monomers break to form single bonds. 2. **Formation of Long Chains**: The monomers link together to form long polymer chains. ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Addition Polymerization⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹In addition polymerization, monomers with double bonds (like alkenes) react to form long polymer chains by breaking the double bonds and forming single bonds.⚹◊What are the general steps involved in the formation of an addition polymer from its monomer⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
