Chapter 25, Problem 73QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The monomer unit is to be identified for the polymers that have repeating units.

Concept introduction:

When two different types of monomers are linked together in the same polymer chain, they are calledcopolymers.

Addition polymer involves the simple linking of monomers. A radical is used to initiate the reaction mechanism.

Elimination of a small molecule occurs when two or more molecules become connected; it is called a condensation polymer.
