Homework 2 Week 6

Monomers for addition polymers need

• lots of carbons

• no hydrogens

• a twist in the shape

• a double bond

polymers are made up of

• hydrogen

• repeating units

• also rans

• never wazziz

The repeating unit for the polymer shown is

• 
• 
• 
• 

linear polymers are

• more dense than branching polymers

• less dense than branching polymers

• the densest of the dense

• very, very dense

addition polymers are resistant to biological and chemical attack because

• lack of functional groups

• paint sealed

• good defense systems

• slippery when wet

Addition polymers can be softened easily because

• the chains are held together by covalent bonds

• they cry easily

• the are like ice cream

• only weak secondary bonds (dispersion forces) hold the chains together
