(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of the polymer of compound poly (butyleneterephthalate) is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Polyesters are the polymers that consist of ester functional group in the main polymer chain. Polyesters are formed by the condensation polymerization reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound poly (butyleneterephthalate) is an addition polymer or a condensation polymer is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Polymerisation is the process in which the small molecules that are monomer molecules link together in a chemical reaction to form large chain that are called polymer.

An addition polymer is the polymer that is formed by the simple addition of the monomer without the removal of other products like water or methanol. It is chain-growth polymerization process.

Condensation polymerisation is the process for the formation of polymers in which the polymers are formed by the linkage of the molecule with removal of small molecules like water or methanol. It is a step-growth polymerization process. The compound formed by condensation polymerisation is a condensation polymer.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The monomers of the compound poly (butyleneterephthalate) are to be predicted and the polymerisation that is accomplished in the formation of poly (butyleneterephthalate) is to be elaborated.

Concept introduction:

Polymerisation is the process in which the small molecules that are monomer molecules link together in a chemical reaction to form large chain that are called polymer.

The repeating unit that link to form large chain polymer are called monomer.

Draw one product of an elimination reaction between the molecules below. Note: There may be several correct answers. You only need to draw one of them. You do not need to draw any of the side products of the reaction 'O 10 + x 也 HO + 义 Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
What are the angles a and b in the actual molecule of which this is a Lewis structure? H- :0: C=N: b Note for advanced students: give the ideal angles, and don't worry about small differences from the ideal that might be caused by the fact that different electron groups may have slightly different sizes. a = 0° b=0 X
A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more products missing from the right-hand side, but there are no reagents missing from the left-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing products to the right-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + This transformation can't be done in one step.
