Chapter 24, Problem 24.5QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To explain electrical conductivity of polyacetylene

Concept Introduction:

The long chain resonance form of polyacetylene has alternative double and single bonds, indicative of delocalized bonding.  Thus, an electron easily move from one end of the molecule to other and it conduct electricity through the entire molecule.  Doping of polymers can also increase electrical conductivity.
