Formation of nylons and polyesters are called step-growth polymerisation because:
- the polymers are formed by adding a monomer step by step
- the polymers are formed by condensation and monomers are joined by loss of simple molecules like water
- the monomers used for condensation are unsaturated molecules
- the polymers are formed by addition of a large number of free radicals formed by monomers
Answer
(B) the polymers are formed by condensation and monomers are joined by loss of simple molecules like water
