Figure 1

The blue coloured ball has three bonds. So, this is the nitrogen atom. The red coloured ball has two bonds. So, this is the oxygen atom. The black coloured atoms have four bonds. So, these are the carbon atoms. The grey coloured balls have one bond. So, these are the hydrogen atoms. The molecular structure of the compound is,

Figure 2

Chain-growth polymerization is formed by the repetitive addition of monomer units containing double or triple bonds. If the monomer units undergoing addition are the same, the polymer is known as homopolymer.

The polymer formed by chain-growth polymerization of given monomer is shown below.

Predict the major products of the following organic reaction: NC Δ ? Some important Notes: • Draw the major product, or products, of the reaction in the drawing area below. • If there aren't any products, because no reaction will take place, check the box below the drawing area instead. • Be sure to draw bonds carefully to show important geometric relationships between substituents. Note: if your answer contains a complicated ring structure, you must use one of the molecular fragment stamps (available in the menu at right) to enter the ring structure. You can add any substituents using the pencil tool in the usual way. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. Х а
