Understanding Addition Polymers | As & A Level Chemistry 9701 PowerPoint
This PowerPoint presentation explores the concept of addition polymers, focusing on the polymerisation process where alkenes (monomers) form long-chain polymers. It explains how the double bond in alkenes opens up to create saturated chains, with examples like polyethene and PVC. The slides also cover the properties of polyalkanes, including their non-polar nature, Van der Waals forces, and environmental impact due to their non-biodegradability. With tasks and questions, this presentation is a valuable resource for students studying polymer chemistry, particularly in organic chemistry.
