Is it enough to say
•additional polymerization is the loss of double bonds
•polymerization is monomers joining together to form polymer
•catalytic cracking is breaking down of large molecules

- I think breaking of double bonds is better than a loss.
- Catalytic cracking is the breaking down of large molecules to small molecules using a catalyst. Cracking is the break down of large molecules. (Remember there's also steam cracking)

1. It is addition, not additional. You should state the double bonds are broken and monomers are added across the bond. I think it can happen with triple bonds too, but I am not certain.
2. Pretty much. Not sure if you have to mention that it happens through a chemical reaction though.
3. You should mention that a zeolite catalyst is used, and that hydrocarbons are the large molecules being broken down.
