Polymers — practice question

Which row gives the descriptions of addition polymerisation and condensation polymerisation?

  • AAddition: monomers have a $\text{C}=\text{C}$ double bond and the polymer is the only product; Condensation: monomers have a $\text{C}=\text{C}$ double bond and the polymer is the only product
  • BAddition: monomers have a $\text{C}=\text{C}$ double bond and the polymer is the only product; Condensation: the monomers react to form the polymer and a small molecule
  • CAddition: the monomers react to form the polymer and a small molecule; Condensation: monomers have a $\text{C}=\text{C}$ double bond and the polymer is the only product
  • DAddition: the monomers react to form the polymer and a small molecule; Condensation: the monomers react to form the polymer and a small molecule
