What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.

∙ 13y ago2 main differences are:
1) condensation polymers form more slowly than addition polymers.
2) water is formed in condensation polymerization but not in addition!

What is one thing that all monomers of addition polymers have in common?
balls!
What do monomers and polymers have to do with photosynthesis?
Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
Why are polymers formed?
Polymers are the result of carbon-based covalent molecules forming long chains. The word should by now be unsurprising. Poly meaning many and mer, as in isomer, is a unit, thus many units. The formation of polymers (polymerisation) is the subject of the following types of reactions.
Do condensation reaction join monomers?
yes. that is one of the methods to form polymers.

Polymers are formed by hydrolysis?
Polymers, my good friend, are formed by condensation. Hydrolysis is when the polymers get taken apart.
The formation of polymers from monomers occurs as a result of what?
condensation reactions
What do monomers and polymers have to do with photosynthesis?
Monomers come together to form polymers through dehydration condensation and polymers split apart from monomers through hydrolysis.
What has the author Derek A Smith written?
Derek A. Smith has written: 'Addition polymers' -- subject(s): Addition polymers, Addition polymerization
What type of polymer weighs less than its parts?
Condensation polymers
A chemical reaction in which polymers are synthesized from their building blocks is called?
Condensation
What is the prcess by polymers of polysaccharidesfatsand proteins are made?
Condensation or dehydration system

Why is condensation polymerization known as step growth polymerization?
condensation polymerization takesplace in a step wise manner.In addition polymerization monomers react to form polymers and there is no biproduct formation.In condesation polymerisation, byproducts are formed in every steps called as dimer,trimer.tetramer etc...
Do condensation reaction join monomers?
yes. that is one of the methods to form polymers.
