Concept Introduction:
Polymer is a very large molecule that is formed by repetitive bonding together of many smaller molecules. The small repeating units are known as monomer.
Addition polymer is the one in which the monomers simply add together with no other products formed apart from the polymer. The repeating unit in addition polymer often exceeds 100,000 and sometimes can exceed even a million.
If the monomer contain only one double bond, then it will take part in polymerization that results in polymer without a double bond.
(b)
Interpretation:
The “start” (first three repeating units) of the structural formula for the addition polymer that is made from 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethene has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Polymer is a very large molecule that is formed by repetitive bonding together of many smaller molecules. The small repeating units are known as monomer. Polymerization is the process by which polymer is prepared.
Addition polymer is the one in which the monomers simply add together with no other products formed apart from the polymer. The repeating unit in addition polymer often exceeds 100,000 and sometimes can exceed even a million.
If the monomer contain only one double bond, then it will take part in polymerization that results in polymer without a double bond.
(c)
