Front (Question)
What are the two types of polymerisation?
Back (Answer)
Addition and Condensation
#2
Front (Question)
When is an addition polymer formed?
Back (Answer)
When unsaturated monomers react to form a polymer. Monomers contain C=C bonds.
#3
Front (Question)
Why are poly(alkenes) non-biodegradable?
Back (Answer)
Poly(alkenes) are chemically inert due to the strong C-C and C-H bonds and non-polar nature of the bonds and therefore are non-biodegradable.
#4
Front (Question)
When do chains form?
Back (Answer)
Chain forms when same basic unit is repeated over and over.
