(a)
Interpretation:
The structural features that needs to be present in the monomer to form a homopolyester needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
Monomer are small unit of organic molecules which can combine together to form larger molecules having long interconnected chain. Polymer is complex molecules having long chain of monomers. Monomers are the building blocks of
(b)
Interpretation:
The structural features necessary for formation of
Concept Introduction :
The small organic molecules which combine to form large molecules are termed as Monomer. These join by bonds to form long chain of molecules called as Polymers. Polymer is complex molecules that have long chain of monomers. Co polymer is those molecules which have two or more than two monomer species.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structural features necessary to form
Concept Introduction :
Addition polymers are formed by the addition of two monomers that does not generate any other products.
