What is adition polymerisation?

it is the fusing together of monomers and hydrocarbons by using heat.addition to above answere.it is the addition of monomer molecules to form bigger particle which is called polymer.the reaction is carried out by heat, and catalyst like potassium per sulphate,cumene peroxide,s.m.b.s.etc.as well as emusifier is must for emulsion polymerisation.the molecular wt. of polymer is much more than monomer.

What is the process in which alkene monomers join to form chains?

Alkene monomers join together through a process called polymerization, specifically in a reaction known as addition polymerization. This involves the breaking of the double bond in the alkene monomers and the formation of new single bonds between the carbon atoms, thus creating a chain-like structure known as a polymer. This reaction is typically catalyzed by a catalyst such as a transition metal complex.

What happens in polymerisation?

According to Sci-Tech Encyclopedia, as quoted on Answers.com, The linking of small molecules (monomers) to make larger molecules. There are two primary ways this linking occurs, condensation method, and the addition method. Both require a catalyst, such as an acid, or a heat source, depending on which method is used. For a more complete discussion of this subject, see the excellent article on Answers.com For a children's version of the explanation of polymerisation, see this excellent "Making Science Fun" article: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000039


What are macromolescules?

Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.

What are the differences between cracking and polymerisation?

Cracking is a process in which larger hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into smaller ones by heat and pressure, often used to produce gasoline. Polymerization is a process in which smaller molecules, called monomers, are chemically joined together to form larger molecules called polymers, used to create plastics and synthetic materials. In summary, cracking breaks molecules apart while polymerization joins molecules together.
