*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. Introduction to addition polymers.
* Formation from alkene monomers.
* The role of the carbon-carbon double bond.
2. How addition polymerisation occurs.
* Breaking of the double bond.
* Joining of monomers into a long chain.
3. Representing addition polymerisation reactions.
4. Drawing the polymerisation of specific alkenes.
5. Naming addition polymers.
* Using the prefix 'poly-' and the monomer name.
* Examples: poly(ethene), poly(butene), poly(chloroethene).
6. Reaction conditions for addition polymerisation.
