Poly wants a Polymer

Unlike the Ionic bonds that metals make, Carbon only forms...

• Polar bonds

• Polar bears

• Covalent bonds

• friendships

Alkanes are...

• Hydrocarbons that only contain carbon-nitrogen single bonds

• Hydrocarbons that only contain carbon- hydrogen double bonds

• Hydrocarbons that only contain carbon-oxygen single bonds

• Hydrocarbons where all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds.

Butane has how many carbons in its structure?

• 4

• 2

• 6

• 8

Propene has how many carbons?

• 1

• 3

• 7

• 9

Why are Alkenes important for polymer formation?

• Carbon-Carbon double bonds break easily

• They aren't

• Carbon-Hydrogen is a bond that is easily broke

• Carbon- Carbon double bonds are the strongest bonds in the world

Polymers are...

• A type of parrot

• A hydrocarbon chain made up of many repeating units called monomers

• heat-activated molecules that have low melting points

• semi-metallic compounds that are found in the ink of fountain pens

I have some plastic in my hand. I stick my hand in a fire and the plastic begins to melt- becoming soft and malleable. What class of plastic do I have?

(a)  

Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer-most shell. This means...

• Carbon is inert

• Carbon can make 4 covalent bonds

• Carbon is a transition metal

• Carbon can only share 2 of those 4 electrons.
