Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A segment of polystyrene that contain two head-to-head, two head-to-tail and two tail-to-tail linkages should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers:

Monomers combine together to form polymers.  Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.

Two types of polymers:

  • Synthetic and biopolymers.
  • DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
  • Polymers synthesized by scientists are called synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.

Orientation of monomer units in a polymer can be head-to-head, head-to-tail and tail-to-tail.

Head-to-tail orientation is present in most of the polymers, but some exceptions are there.

Quantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kT
