Addition Polymerization

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to piece together a jigsaw puzzle where every piece perfectly fits together without leaving any gaps or needing to be altered. This is similar to addition polymerization, where individual monomer units connect end-to-end, retaining all their original components in the final polymer chain. Just like in the jigsaw puzzle, where each piece retains its shape and edges to complete the picture, in addition polymerization, each atom in the monomer is preserved and used to build the complete polymer, ensuring nothing is wasted and everything fits seamlessly together.
