Chapter 23, Problem 6STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 6STP

Option B

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Many monomer molecules join together in a chain to form a polymer molecule.

Depolymerization is a type of recycling that breaks down the complex polymer molecules into monomers using heat or certain chemicals. However, a major drawback of this type of recycling is that different polymers require different process. This requires a lot of research yet to be done.

Conclusion:

A type of recycling that breaks up the polymers into their original monomers is called depolymerization.
