What reaction adds monomers to a growing polymer chain?
Such reactions are known as polymerization processes, they are of two types 1- addition polymerization and 2- condensation polymerization.
State whether polyethylene is a condensation or addition polymarization product?
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 is the name for the polymerization reaction involving sugars?
carbohydrate polymerase reaction is a condensation polymerization reaction
Is polymerization an example of a decomposition reaction?

What are the similarities between addition polymerization and condensation polymerization?
Polymerization describes the formation of of large molecules (polymers) with repeating structure from smaller molecules (monomers) . The word polymer comes from Greek words meaning many (poly-) and parts (-mer). Many of the resulting molecules are plastics, so polymer is occasionally used in place of the word plastic, though this is not an accurate usage. Polymerization is an all-encompassing term that describes formation of polymers by any method.There are two main types of polymerization; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Addition polymerization creates larger molecules by opening up double bonds on the smaller molecules (monomers). These opened-up bonds react with parts of other monomers (single part) to form dimers (double part). This reaction can repeat to add another molecule to for a trimer (three part). This continues until you obtain the right size molecule and you stop the reaction. Addition polymerixation can occur using a single type of monomer. There are no by products of the reaction except the longer chain molecules (polymers).In condensation polymerization, two monomers of different types are used. They have different types of reactive (or functional) groups on them. A reaction between monomer A and monomer B results in a dimer, plus another small molecule (often water) that is not part of the polymer. To create long polymers the monomers must have reactive groups on both ends or a chain cannot be formed.Polymerization is an all-encompassing term for creating polymers by any method. Condensation Polymerization is a term denoting a specific type of reaction for creating polymers.

What is the reaction that links monomers to form a chain?
Addition polymer

What are the differences between additional polymerization and condensation polymerization?
the structural unit of step reaction polymerization are chemically identical to the monomer employed in the reaction while those of the chain reaction may or may not be identical addition or step polymers take their names from their starting monomers while those of the chain reaction is not so
What is the name of the chemical reaction which combines monomers to make polymers?
Simply - polymerization. However, this is usually addition polymerization but not always. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerization and the polymers used to make waterbased latex paints is usually called emulsion polymerization.
What is a addition reaction?
An addition reaction is when 1 molecule combines with another molecule and becomes 1 bigger molecule. There are no other products in this process; just the 2 molecules.
What is the name for the polymerization reaction involving sugars?
carbohydrate polymerase reaction is a condensation polymerization reaction
What type of reaction is used to produce polyethylene from ethylene?
Either addition polymerization or substitution. See also the link below.
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...
Is the polymerization of polylactic acid addition or condensation?
it is considered as a condensation reaction...
Is polymerization to form polyethylene a chemical or physical property?
Polymerization is not a property; it is a type of chemical reaction.
Is polymerization an example of a decomposition reaction?
