Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for configuration of a polymer of isobutylene is neither isotactic, syndiotactic, nor atactic has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers:

Monomers combine together to form polymers.  Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.

Two types of polymers:

  • Synthetic and biopolymers.
  • DNA is an example for biopolymer and these type of polymers are synthesized by cells.
  • Polymers synthesized by scientists are called synthetic polymers and some examples are nylon, polyester etc.

Isotactic polymer: Substituents will be on the same side of the chain.

Syndiotactic polymer: Substituents will be on the alternate side of the chain.

Atactic polymer: Substituents will be randomly oriented.
