(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between linear and branched polyethylene needs to be explained.

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 polymers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between glucose and fructose needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Glucose and fructose are monosaccharideswith molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is also known as aldohexose consisting of 6 carbon atom and an aldehyde group.

On the other hand, fructose is a ketohexose consisting 6 carbon atoms and a ketone group.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between maltose and sucrose needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Maltose and sucrose both are disaccharide with molecular formula C12H22O11. Maltose consists of 2 molecules of glucose while sucrose contains 1 molecule of glucose and 1 molecule of fructose in it.

These are disaccharide which consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms only.
