Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The monomer required to produce the given polymer needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A polymer is a long chain consists of large number of monomer units. The monomers are repeated units in a polymer they are linked to each other in different orders to produce different
These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage or glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule.
Polyvinyl chloride, bakelite, polystyrene are some of the example of polymers.
