Chapter 27, Problem 24PP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Identify the monomer required for making the given alternating copolymer

Concept introduction:

Polymer constructed from a single type of monomer is known as homopoylmers.  If the polymer is constructed from two or more type of monomer then they are called as copolymers.  Copolymers are usually classified based on the distribution of monomer units.  If the monomer unit is present in an alternating fashion then it is known as alternating copolymer while if it is in random fashion then it is known as random copolymer.  If the copolymer consists of homopolymer subunits connected in a block fashion then it is known as block copolymer.  If the homopolymer subunit is grafted onto another homopolymer subunit then it is known as grafter copolymer. These four types of copolymer can be represented as,
