Monomers and Polymers

Monomer- a single unit of a polymer

polymer- is made of many monomers

ethene--> polyethene

propane---> polypropene

styrene---> polystyrene

monomers must have a double bond to become a polymer

polythene E.g- plastic bags

Unlimited prat of polythene chain













Addition polymerization- this is when a polymer is turned into a polymer








Propene into Polypropene













Styrene to Polystyrene
