Chapter 21, Problem 71E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The monomer of $\text{Kel-F}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The polymers (repeating structural units) are derived from the simple and reactive molecules, called as monomers. $\text{Kel-F}$, is an addition $\text{<x-custom-btb-me data-me-id="298" class="microExplainerHighlight">homopolymer</x-custom-btb-me>}$ (having only one type of monomer units). It is a thermoplastic $\text{chlorofluoropolymer}$ having the molecular formula ${\left({\text{CF}}_{\text{2}}\text{CClF}\right)}_{\text{n}}$, where n is the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule.

To determine: The monomer of $\text{Kel-F}$.
