    T etrafluoroethene (F ₂CCF₂) undergoes polymerization describes the formation of Teflon.

    Explanation:

    Polymerization is the process in which small units called as monomers join together repeatedly and forms a long chain macro-molecule called as polymer.

    In given question the monomer is Tetrafluoroethene because alkenes can undergo polymerization via Addition polymerization via following mechanism.

    a) Free Radical Addition Reaction

    b) Acid Catalyzed Addition Reaction

    c) Base catalyzed Addition Reaction

    The formation of Teflon from Tetrafluoroethene is shown below,
