Polyethylene is an addition polymerization product. It is produced through the addition polymerization of ethylene monomers, during which the monomers are simply added together without any by-products. There is no elimination of small molecules, such as water, which is characteristic of condensation polymerization.

What' s the different between Aldol condensation and Claisen condensation?

Aldol condensation is the reaction of two aldehydes in the presence of a basic catalyst. The aldol condensation leads to an aldol product, in which an hydroxyl group is attached to the beta carbon of an aldehyde. Claisen condensation is similar to aldol condensation, but is involves two esters instead of two aldehydes. The product of a Claisen condensation is a beta-keto-ester, a compound characterized by an ester with its alpha carbon being a ketone.
