A type of polymerisation in which unsaturated monomers (e.g. alkenes) undergo addition reactions with themselves to form polymers.

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -1.1 Addition Polymerization. In addition polymerization (sometimes called chain-growth polymerization), a chain reaction adds new monomer units to the growing polymer molecule one at a time through double or triple bonds in the monomer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neoprene, Teflon, Polyvinylchloride are examples of addition polymers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Addition polymerisation is the process of repeated addition of monomers that possess double or triple bonds to form polymers. Condensation polymerisation is a process that involves repeated condensation reactions between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomers.
Detailed explanation-4: -This sort of polymer is called an addition polymer because lots of molecules have added together with nothing at all being lost in the process. The name of an addition polymer is based on the monomer it came from. The polymer in this case is called poly(ethene)-which just means lots of ethene molecules joined up.
