This powerpoint is purposefully made for AS Level Chemstry using the most recent Cambridge syllabus.

It fully covers - 20.1 Addition polymerisation

Learning outcomes
Candidates should be able to:

1. describe addition polymerisation as exemplified by poly(ethene) and poly(chloroethene), PVC

2. deduce the repeat unit of an addition polymer obtained from a given monomer

3. identify the monomer(s) present in a given section of an addition polymer molecule

4. recognise the difficulty of the disposal of poly(alkene)s, i.e. non-biodegradability and harmful combustion products
