Chapter 23, Problem 51QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of linear chain polymer and branched chain polymer obtained from the condensation of phenol and formaldehyde in 1:2 ratio 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 polymers.

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.
