Addition polymerization involves the bonding of monomer molecules through the movement of electrons from a multiple bond (such as a double bond) into new single bonds between molecules, without the loss of any atom or molecule. This process is typical for monomers like ethylene and propylene, where the double bond opens up and links with other monomers to form a polymer chain.
