Explain the term polymerization with two examples.
Polymerization is the process of combining two or more molecules of unsaturated compounds to produce a larger complex given the right conditions. The resulting product is known as a polymer, and the process is known as polymerization. (a) Additional polymerization: Nothing is wasted during the process since the larger molecule (polymer) is an exact multiple of the smaller molecule. (b) Condensation polymerization: Molecules such as water, hydrochloric acid, and others are typically lost during this process. The polymer is not an exact multiple of the smaller molecule during polymerization
