Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Chemical structure of the monomer of poly (methyl acrylate) should be drawn and named.

Concept introduction:

Any polymer can be named by using certain rules given by IUPAC (International Union for Pure and applied chemistry).   Naming of polymer is based on the monomer from which it was derived.

If the monomer contains only one word in the name then no parenthesis is used when naming polymer but if the monomer contains two words means parenthesis is used around the name of monomer.

poly (monomer)=Monomer with two words

Poly-monomer=Monomer with single word

To draw : To draw and name the monomer of poly(methyl acrylate)
