B.) substitution
C.) addition polymerization
D.) condensation polymerization

Which term describes this reaction A elimination B substitution C addition polymerization D condensation polymerization class=

Respuesta :

c.) addition polymerization

because there is an addition of ethene molecules but there are no bond being condensed

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a monomer unit of a polymer simply links to its number of molecules without forming any other product is known as addition polymerization.

Whereas in a elimination reaction an element eliminates from the reactants and in a substitution reaction an element in a compound is substituted by another element.

On the other hand, condensation reaction is a reaction in which molecules link together along with formation of by products such as water or methanol.

Thus, we can conclude that addition polymerization is the term which describes given reaction.
