Chapter 15, Problem 15.81P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the two types of synthetic polymers, which is more similar chemically to biopolymers has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are made up of many number of small repeating units called monomers.  Monomer is a small unit which reacts with similar units to form a polymer.

CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR NATURE OF MATTE, Chapter 15, Problem 15.81P

Synthetic polymers:

Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers.  They are classified into four categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and synthetic fibres.

Biopolymers:

Biopolymers are the polymers which are produced by living organisms.  They contain monomer units which are covalently bonded to form larger structures.

Students have asked these similar questions
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T G OH де OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
