Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Given that a rubber ball is dropped fromChemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 10, Problem 47AP , additional homework tip  1and it bounces back up to aboutChemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 10, Problem 47AP , additional homework tip  2Superballs, which are made up of polybutadiene can bounce back up to aboutChemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 10, Problem 47AP , additional homework tip  3Golf balls, which are made up of cross-linked polybutadiene, can bounce back up toChemistry for Changing Times, Chapter 10, Problem 47AP , additional homework tip  4The type of polymer from which the above balls are made should be determined and the kind of ball exhibits the property of the polymer to the greatest extent should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Polymerization is the process of the formation of large macromolecules from one or more monomers. There are two types of polymerization reactions:

  1. Addition polymerization, in which the monomer undergoing polymerization does not lose any atoms in the formation of a polymer.
  2. Condensation polymerization, in which the monomer undergoing polymerization loses few atoms, such as water, in the formation of a polymer.
