During the formation of addition polymers, which smaller molecules you think are eliminated:
Correct answer: D. No molecules are eliminated
- A. H2O
- B. HCl
- C. NH3
- D. No molecules are eliminated
Explanation
In polymer chemistry, an additional polymer is a polymer that forms by simple linking of monomers without the co-generation of other products. Addition polymerization differs from condensation polymerization, which does co-generate a product, usually water.In addition, polymerization monomers simply react to form polymers without the formation of by products.

About Polymers
Polymers are large molecules made from repeating monomer units joined by covalent bonds. The topic distinguishes addition polymers such as polyethylene, PVC and polystyrene from condensation polymers such as nylon and polyester, and relates chain structure to thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, properties, uses and environmental concerns.
