Which of the following cannot undergo addition polymerisation?
a) Ethane
b) Ethene
c) Propylene
d) Vinyl benzene
Answer : a) Ethane
Explanation :
All the polymers are formed by combining the monomers. The monomers involved in addition polymerisation are unsaturated compounds like alkenes and alkadienes.
All the time one of the reactant is always double bonded compound or triple bonded compound for the polymerization process.
When the breaking of bond takes place in the monomers then the chain of monomers are start to form and polymers are obtained.
a) Ethane
