**Question 5**

**Draw the probable monomers for the following polymer:**

![Polymer Structure](polymer_structure.jpg)

The image contains a polymer structure with repeating units. The structure shows a pattern of two different types of repeating units suggesting the polymer is formed from two monomers.

1. **First Monomer:**
   - A diamine: **1,4-Phenylendiamine** 
     - Structure of 1,4-Phenylendiamine: 
       - Benzene ring with an amine group (-NH2) at positions 1 and 4.

2. **Second Monomer:**
   - A diacid chloride: **Terephthaloyl chloride** 
     - Structure of Terephthaloyl chloride:
       - Benzene ring with a carbonyl chloride group (-COCl) at positions 1 and 4.

Combining these monomers through a condensation polymerization reaction will form the given polymer with amide (-NH-CO-) linkages between the repeating units.

**Details of Polymer Structure:**
- The polymer chain consists of alternating aromatic rings with amide bonds linking them. Each benzene ring has an amine (NH) and a carbonyl (CO) group at alternating positions.

**Illustration:**
- The diagram in the image shows a repeating unit of:
  - Benzene ring connected to an amine group.
  - Amide linkage connecting another benzene ring.
  - Repeating sequence continues.

This structure is typical of aromatic polyamides, which possess high thermal stability and strength, often used in applications like Kevlar or other high-performance materials.
