Interpretation:
The monomer that is used to produce the polymer contains 1 nitrogen atom. The mass composition of the monomer is 67.90 % C, 5.70% H and 26.40% N. The possible geometric structure of the monomer needs to be drawn with labbled bond lengths and bond angles.
Concept introduction:
A polymer is a long chain molecule made of large number of monomer units. The monomer is repeating units of a polymer that are linked to each other to produce a molecule of polymer.
These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage or glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule.
Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the example of
The example showing the formation of polystyrene from styrene momomer.
