Chapter 9, Problem 33Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical reaction for polymerization of given monomer to Teflon has to be drawn.

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.

Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reasons why repeating head-to-tail arrangement is not possible in Teflon has to be identified.

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.

Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
