Chapter 15, Problem 15.73P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of alternating copolymer formed by the polymerization of ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}={\text{CCl}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}={\text{CHC}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The repeated bonding of monomer units lead to the formation of polymer. They are mainly synthesized through condensation or addition reaction of monomer units. However, two or more monomers units that have different structure leads to the formation of copolymer.
