Review for ConChem summative

is a process through which a large number of monomer molecules react together to form a polymer.

• Photopolymerization

• Polymerization

• Copolymerization

The term polymer, in general, means "large molecules" with higher molecular mass. They are also referred to as ____________.

• monomer

• Macrooranisms

• Macromolecules

They are found naturally in plants and animals. Resins, starch and rubber are examples of this

• Natural polymers

• Semi-synthetic polymers

This is a modified version of natural rubber; rubbers are treated with chemicals to make them _________. Cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate are examples that come under this subcategory

• Natural polymers

• Synthetic polymers

• Semi-synthetic polymers

Polymers which are completely man-made are called synthetic polymers. Polythene, Nylon 66, and synthetic rubber are the widely used _____...

• Natural polymers

• Semi-synthetic polymers

• Synthetic polymers

They consist of a long and straight-chain of monomers.

• Branched polymers

• Cross linked polymers

• Linear polymers

They are linear polymers containing some branches. Low-density polythene is an example
