What is a common polymer prepared by the process of addition polymerization and what is the equation showing its formation?
Answer:
Mata Hari is correct. Award her full points. In particular, vinyl chloride monomer is CH2=CH-Cl. Initiation of polymerization by a cation, X+, anion, X-, or free radical, X*, produces a reactive intermediate, X-CH2-CH*(Cl), which adds to the next vinyl chloride molecule in an endless chain of addition:
-[-CH2-CH(Cl)-]n-
Other addition polymers are polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.
polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
