Differentiate addition and condensation polymerization
Answers
Hi, This is the answer
The main difference between addition and condensation polymerization is that in addition polymerization the polymers are formed by the addition of monomers with no by-products while in condensation polymerization polymers are formed due to the condensation of two different monomers resulting in the formation of small molecules such as HCl, water, ammonia, etc., as by-products.

The process of joining small molecules to form a large molecule is known as polymerization. The building blocks of polymers are monomers. Based on the chemical reaction involved, polymerisation is divided into two groups known as addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Addition polymerization is the process of repeated addition of monomers that posses double or triple bonds to form polymers. A condensation polymerization is a process that involves repeated condensation reactions between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomers. Give below in a tabular column is the difference between addition and condensation polymerization.
