Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the polymer with the given repeating unit, monomer is to be identified and a source based name is to be suggested.

Concept introduction:

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

Polymer may contain one or more than one functional group in its structure.

Answer to Problem 15P

Solution: Acetylene.

Explanation of Solution

The repeating units of a polymer are known as monomers. The process by which respective monomers combine to form polymers is known as polymerization. The polymer formed by the simple addition reactions of monomers without the generation of by-products are known as addition polymer. The given repeating unit is shown below.
