Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of polymerisation uses two different monomers, both contain a functional group at each end?
A
addition polymerisation
B
condensation polymerisation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Condensation polymerisation is a process that involves repeated condensation reactions between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation polymers are made from monomers with two different functional groups. A small molecule is released in the reaction, usually water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Characteristics of Condensation Polymerization The molecules should have one or two functional groups (like alcohol, amine, or carboxylic acid groups). The reaction occurs between two similar or different functional groups or monomers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Based on Mode of Polymerization If the addition is of the same species they are called homopolymers and if the addition is of different monomers they are called copolymers.
