What is the condensation polymers and addition polymers?

In condensation polymers the monomer units link with each other by the elimination of small molecule(e.g water,methyl alcholol)as a by product.the polymer formed is called Condensation polymer.Nylon and terylene are the most common examples.Addition polymers involve the self addition of several unsaturated molecules of one or two monomers without loss of any small molecule to form a single giant molecule.Polythene is the most common example

in addition polymerization only one type of monomers are add without release of any side product.in condonsatoin plymerization two or more types of monomers are added with release of simple molicules of h20

addition polymers are the polymers which consists by combination of monomers without elemenating any byproduct. eg. PVC

condensation polymers are those polymers which is formed by combination of monomers with the elemination of small molecules like H2O, NH2 etc eg TERYLENE

Addition Polymers are formed by the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing double or triple bond.

Condensation Polymers are formed by repeated condensation reaction between two monomeric units.
