About this document
Polymerization CXC Chemistry-1 by Antonio Belgrave is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document outlines the differences between addition and condensation polymerization. Addition polymerization involves monomers joining without the loss of small molecules, resulting in a single product, while condensation polymerization involves the loss of a small molecule, producing two products: the polymer and the by-product. Common examples include polyalkenes for addition and polyamides, polyesters, and polysaccharides for condensation.
