Concept Introduction:
A polymer is a long chain molecule made of large number of monomer units. The monomer is repeating units of a polymer that are linked to each other to produce a molecule of polymer.
These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage or glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule.
Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the example of

- To form an addition polymer, what structural feature must the monomer possess?arrow_forwardThe polymerization of propene, CH₂CH=CH₂, can be classified as An addition reaction An elimination reaction A substitution reaction A condensation reactionarrow_forwardc) The physical characteristics of a polymer depend not only on its molecular weight and shape, but also based on the structure of the molecular chains. Classify the differences between all the molecular chains.arrow_forward
- Use an example to show how branching and crosslinking can affect the physical behavior of a polymer.arrow_forwardPolymers do not crystallise easily because:a) they are long chain moleculesb) they contain covalent bondsc) the molecules are interconnected with H-bondingarrow_forwardUse an example to show how branching and cross linking can affect the physical behavior of a polymer.arrow_forward
