Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

True or false.

Ethylene contains one carbon-carbon double bond, and polyethylene contains many carbon-carbon double bonds.

Concept Introduction:

Procedures where single molecules or monomers such as hydrocarbons and amino acids bond to form polymers is known as polymerization. Below are the two types of polymers:

  • Natural polymers − These polymers consist rubber, cellulose and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  • Manmade or artificial polymer − These polymers are found within PVC i.e. polyvinyl chloride and other plastic.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

True or false.

All c-c bond angles in both LDPE and HDPE are approximately 1200.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

True or false.

High density polyethylene consists of carbon chains with little branching.

  • Manmade or artificial polymer − These polymers are found within PVC i.e. polyvinyl chloride and other plastic.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

True or false.

The density of polyethylene polymers is directly related to the degree of chain branching, the lower the density of the polymer.

1. Kevlar is a copolymer used in bullet-proof vests. It is formed in a condensation reaction between the following two monomers: H2N- -NH2 НО—С OH Sketch a portion of the polymer chain showing several monomer units. Write the overall equation for the condensation reaction.
The density difference between low and high-density polyethylene is a result of the difference between branching in the polymer structures at the molecular level. Which of these two polymers tend to be more flexible and is used for lids of containers such as butter tubs?
