Ethene is converted to poly(ethene) by
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. addition polymerisation
Ethene molecules join through their double bonds with no by-product.
Answer: addition polymerisation.
Why not the others: condensation polymerisation: no small molecule is lost. cracking: that breaks large molecules into smaller ones. fractional distillation: that separates liquids by boiling point.
