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 is the process by which monomers are joined together to form polymers? What is removed from the monomers during the reaction (what comes out of the reaction)?arrow_forwardexplain the process by which alkenes begin the polymerization process, and how the process continues explain why the bonds of polymers made from alkenes are so stable.arrow_forwardDraw the structure of the monomer used to prepare the polymer shown below. CH₂- CH-CH₂-CH-CH₂-CH-CH₂-CH- CH3 CH3 CH3 CH₂arrow_forward
- Draw the structure(s) of the monomer(s) used to make each of the following polymers Define whether each polymer is a A. homopolymer or B. copolymer Define whether each polymer can be prepared by: C. free radical polymerization or D. condensation polymerizationarrow_forwardPlease answerarrow_forwardWhat is a Bio-degardable polymer? Give an example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.arrow_forward
- Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.)
