Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Like benzene, the structural formulas of styrene resonance structures have to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

  • Polymer: A polymer is a long molecule formed by joining together of thousands of small molecular units by chemical bonds.
  • Monomers: Small molecules which combine together to form polymer molecules are known as Monomers.
  • Polymers are large molecules made of chains of monomers, small molecules that link together. 
  • Polymerization is the formation of polymers from these small units (or) macromolecules formed by the covalent attachment of a set of small molecules termed as monomers.
  • Polymer can occur naturally (proteins, carbohydrates) and can be synthesized nylon, Teflon, Polyethylene, etc.,
