Students are introduced to the concept of addition polymerisation using polyethene from ethene. The program features many examples of the different types of polymers and their properties. It includes:
- definitions of terms such as monomer and polymer
- simple molecular models to demonstrate how the double bonds in the monomers break to form the polymer
- demonstration of how the alignment of the monomer is important for the successful formation of the polymer
