Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The monomer required to produce the given polymer needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A polymer is a long chain consists of large number of monomer units. The monomers are repeated units in a polymer they are linked to each other in different orders to produce different
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, polystyrene are some of the example of polymers.

- What are synthetic polymers?arrow_forwardWhat does the word organic imply, as in the word organic compounds?arrow_forwardSuppose you wished to make a “model” of a linear polyethylene having a molecular weight of about 170,000 (a reasonable number for a commercial product) using paper clips to represent the repeating unit. How many paper clips would you have to string together?arrow_forward
- In most cases, end groups contribute insignificant to the physical/chemical properties of polymers. Among the types of polymers that we learned , which types of polymers' end group can contribute relatively largely?arrow_forwardList TWELVE (12) polymers that are widely used in high technology application and diccuss THREE (3) of the polymers in terms of their production, properties and applications.arrow_forwardDraw the structures of the respective monomers that would form the polymers shown.arrow_forward
