Synthetic polymers

What occurs to the C=CC=CC=C double bond in a monomer during addition polymerisation?

A

The double bond remains unchanged to form single covalent bonds that link monomers into a long chain.

B

The double bond opens up to form double covalent bonds that link monomers into a long chain.

C

The double bond opens up to form single covalent bonds that link monomers into a long chain.

D

The double bond closes up to form single covalent bonds that link monomers into a long chain.
