Question

A chemical reaction that has a general formula nA -> (A)n is best described

Answer 1

Polymerization has a general formula nA ⇒ (A)n

Further explanation

Given

General formula : nA ⇒ (A)n

Required

Type of chemical reaction

Solution

There are several types of reactions that can occur.

replacement (single or double), synthesis, decomposition, burning etc.

Polymerization is a combination of monomers which are the smallest units of the polymer

The polymers themselves can be differentiated based on

• the source

natural polymers and synthetic polymers

• the type of monomer

homopolymers (one type of monomer) and copolymers (two or more types of monomers)
