Question
Chapter 20, Problem 57A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term
Concept introduction:
Poly means many and mer means unit. Thus, polymer is repetition of units.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 57A
A polymer is a material which is made of a large number of subunits. Each subunit is called monomer.
Explanation of Solution
Polythene is an example of polymer. It is polymer of ethene. A number of units of ethene join together and forms polythene. Thus, ethene is monomer and polythene is polymer.
Polymers are of three categories:
- Natural
polymers - Synthetic polymers
Semi-synthetic polymers
Natural polymers are the polymers which are obtained in nature. Example: starch
Synthetic polymers are the polymers which are man-made. Example: Teflon
Semi-synthetic polymers are the polymers whose sources are natural and some modifications are done to improve the properties. Example: Vulcanised rubber
Conclusion
Thus, monomer combines in a large number to form polymers.
