Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In both addition and condensation polymerization, monomer units chemically bond together to form polymers. However, in addition polymerization, the product contains all the atoms of the starting material (no small molecules are lost), whereas in condensation polymerization, a small molecule (often water) is also formed as a byproduct.
