Question
Chapter 15, Problem 44E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The main uses of each of the given
Concept Introduction:
Polymers are formed by joining small units called monomers.
Polymers are usually non-biodegradable, which means they do not convert into simpler substances when they are dumped into the soil.
Polymers are inert, they do not corrode when they are exposed to surroundings and are very useful.
