What is the difference between addition and condensation polymerisation?

Options

  1. AAddition polymerization and condensation polymerization both involve the removal of water molecules during the
  2. BAddition polymerization typically produces polymers with a higher molecular weight than condensation polymeriz
  3. CIn addition polymerisation the polymers are formed by the addition of monomer with no by-products whereas in c
  4. DAddition polymerization is a more complex and time-consuming process compared to condensation polymerization.

Correct answer

C. In addition polymerisation the polymers are formed by the addition of monomer with no by-products whereas in c

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C) In addition polymerisation the polymers are formed by the addition of monomer with no by-products whereas in condensation polymerization, the polymers are formed due to the condensation of different monomers resulting in the formation of small molecules such as HCl, water, ammonia, etc. as by-products.
