Addition vs condensation polymerisationAddition polymerisation (A)Condensation polymerisation (C)Monomers with C=C double bonds; no by-product; e.g. poly(ethene), PVCMonomers with two functional groups; loses a small molecule (water); e.g. nylon, polyesterJoin many monomers into a polymer; form long chains; industrially important

set A "Addition polymerisation"
set C "Condensation polymerisation"
only "A" "Monomers with C=C double bonds; no by-product; e.g. poly(ethene), PVC"
only "C" "Monomers with two functional groups; loses a small molecule (water); e.g. nylon, polyester"
intersect "A,C" "Join many monomers into a polymer; form long chains; industrially important"
