(a)
Interpretation: The structure of the polycarbonate chain formed by the given reaction is to be drawn and whether it is formed by addition or condensation
Concept introduction: The
To determine: The structure of polycarbonate formed by the reaction between bisphenol A and phosgene.
(b)
Interpretation: The structure of the polycarbonate chain formed by the given reaction is to be drawn and whether it is formed by addition or condensation polymerization is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The polymers (repeating structural units) are derived from the simple and reactive molecules, called as monomers. Depending upon the mode of polymerization, polymerization mainly occurs by addition and condensation polymerization reactions. Copolymers are formed when two or more different monomers condensed together in a polymerization reaction.
To determine: The mode of polymerization for the formation of polycarbonates.
