Interpretation:
The structure of polymer formed on polymerizing following compound should be determined:
Concept Introduction:
Based on type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. These polymerizations occur with elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2 etc.
Interpretation:
The structure of polymer formed on polymerizing following compound should be determined:
Concept Introduction:
Polymers are macromolecules which are composed of a large number of small repeating units. This repeating units are known as monomers and the process of formation of polymers from monomer units is known as polymerization.
Based on type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of alkene leads to formation of polyalkenes.
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some functional groups like −OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. These polymerizations occur with elimination of small molecules such as H2O, CO, and CO2 etc.
