Question
Chapter 23, Problem 3QAP
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The portion of acrylonitrile polymer as a head to tail polymer needs to be sketched.
Concept introduction:
A polymer is a long chain consists of large number of monomer units. In a polymer, the monomers are linked to each other in a continuous or repetitive manner. These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage, glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule. Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the examples of the
