Question 35

An alkene monomer has the molecular formula C8H16\text{C}_8\text{H}_{16}C8​H16​.

The table shows three proposed descriptions of the polymer made from this monomer.

ReportFormula of one repeating unitBond between the two carbon atoms that were joined by the double bond in the monomer

BC8H14\text{C}_8\text{H}_{14}C8​H14​single bond
CC8H16\text{C}_8\text{H}_{16}C8​H16​single bond
a.

Explain which report is consistent with addition polymerisation.
