Chapter 12.6, Problem 4PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The carbon-skeleton structure and the condensed structure of the monomer used to prepare a poly(methyl methacrylate) are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The carbon-skeleton is the representation of bonds between carbon atoms by drawing the short zig-zag line segments in which the point of intersection represent a carbon atom. Condensed structure represents the symbols of the elements in the molecule with the subscript representing the number of atoms. It does not show $\text{C}-\text{C}$ and $\text{C}-\text{O}$ single bonds.

To determine: The carbon-skeleton structure of hexane and the condensed structure of the monomer used to prepare a poly(methyl methacrylate).
