Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 54RQ
Polystyrene plastic is a hydrocarbon that consists of a long chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds in which every other carbon is attached to a benzene ring. The ring is attached by replacing a hydrogen atom of benzene with a single bond to the carbon chain. Sketch a portion of a polystyrene molecule that contains five benzene rings.
