Explanation Polymers formation depend upon the monomer units and type of polymer is formed. There are two different type of polymerisation reaction by which a polymer can formed. (1) Addition polymers: These polymers are formed by simple combination of monomer units to give a long chain of polymer. These monomer units are usaually alkenes , that is they have a carbon-carbon double bond which splits into single bonds after the formation of polymer. For example, polythene is an addition polymer which has the monomer unit ethylene. The polymerisation reaction is written as, (2) Condensation polymers : These polymers are formed by condensation reaction of monomer units to give a long chain of polymer...

Indicate the relationship between the two structures in the pair. Are they chair conformations of the same molecule? If so, are they conformational diastereomers, conformational enantiomers, or identical? If they are not conformations of the same molecule, what is their stereochemical relationship? CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C CH3 H3C CH3 They are chair conformations of the same molecule, and they are conformational diastereomers. They are chair conformations of the same molecule, and they are conformational enantiomers. They are identical conformations of the same molecule. They are different molecules, and they are diastereomers. They are different molecules, and they are enantiomers. O000
