How is addition polymerization different from condensation polymerization?

During addition polymerization, all the atoms in the monomer units are retained in the polymer; condensation polymerization results in the loss of a small molecule, such as water. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Organic Reactions Study Notes

Space-filling models do not provide information on bond types or numbers.
Pentane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C5H12.
A carbon chain comprising a single ring does not qualify as an aromatic compound.
Benzene has a structure closely resembling that of aspirin.
2-methylpropane is a branched alkane.
Preservatives for biological specimens often include formaldehyde.
A compound suitable for condensation polymerization typically has two alcohol functional groups.
The molecular formula for methanol is CH3OH.
Secondary amines follow the general formula R2NH.
Propene can be converted to an alkyl halide through an addition reaction.
Estradiol, a hormone, is classified as an aromatic compound.
The chemical formula for acetic acid is C2H4O2.
Saturated hydrocarbons are primarily used in the combustion of natural gas.
Condensation polymerization requires monomers to have multiple functional groups.
Addition polymerization differs from condensation in that it retains all atoms from the monomers.
Geometric isomers are compounds with the same atoms in the same order but different spatial arrangements.
Polystyrene cups are composed of alkenes.
Carboxylic acids can be visualized as repeating units, similar to a train model.
Esters are commonly used in the fragrance industry.
The hydrocarbon CH3(CH2)6CH3 is classified as octane.
Of a group of similar-sized hydrocarbons, one identified as an alkyne is typically distinct from alkenes.
Many interconnected simple subunits lead to the formation of polymers.
Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different arrangements of atoms.
Alcohols are characterized by the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups.
An organic compound is generally defined by containing carbon and often hydrogen, among other elements.
