Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.

There are two kinds of polymers;

-Addition polymers

-Condensation polymers

Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers  to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.

Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules  to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.

The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.

In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.

In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.

Identify the gas particle that travels the slowest. ne h2 co n2 o2
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>O2 travels slower than H2, Ne, N2, and CO. This is due to the fact that O2 has a heavier molecular weight than the others. O2 has a weight of 32 grams per mole. N2 and CO are the next highest with 28 grams per mole. Ne is 20 grams per mole, and H2 is 2 grams per mole.</span>
