Addition Polymerization and Polymer Disposal

The video provides an overview of addition polymerization, explaining the process of how monomers can be joined together to form larger molecules called polymers. It discusses the use of functional groups that can react to form bonds between monomers, with a specific focus on the double bonds found in alkenes. The video also explains how the structure of a polymer can be determined from its monomers, and vice versa. Additionally, the video highlights the issue of disposing of non-biodegradable polymers, including options for landfill, incineration, reuse, and recycling.
