Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What structural feature must a molecule have in order to undergo addition polymerization?
A
Two functional groups
B
A carbon-carbon double bond
C
Carbon atoms singly bonded together
D
A polar covalent bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A.) Addition polymers are constructed from molecules that have two or more reactive groups so ester or amide linkages are necessary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The initiation of addition polymerization (in above case, the breaking of a double bond) requires catalysts, pressure, heat or UV light. The growing polymer chain is a free radical in the polymerization. Terminal radicals are required for ending the reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: A monomer for it to be used in addition polymerization has to have a double bond. Addition polymers are formed from the addition reaction of alkenes. These reactions are usually catalyzed by free radical initiators.

Detailed explanation-4: -Addition polymerisation An addition polymer is a long-chain molecule which formed by the joining up of many small molecules called monomers. To make addition polymers, the monomers must contain at least one double carbon to carbon bond and are therefore alkenes.
