Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Addition polymer formed'by the polymerisation of a single mónomeric species is known as homopolymer. eg. Polythene.
n' CH_2=CH_2 longrarr CH_2-CH_2 t_n
ethene : homopolymer The polymers made by addition polymerisation from two different monomers are termed as copolymers eg. Buna S, Buna.N etc. C=CC=CC=CC '
/ll I. 3 - butadiene
