Chapter 26, Problem 26.34P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The condensed formula for the given polymer is to be drawn. A structure for the monomer is required to synthesize the polymer is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

The repeating unit describes the connectivity that occurs over and over (repeatedly) in a polymer. From the repeating unit, we can draw the condensed formula for the polymer. The monomer of the polymer is drawn by removing the single bonds that connects the repeating units together and by converting the middle C-C single bond to C=C double bond.
