I. only −C−C− linkages present in the polymer structure

II. use of bifunctional or polyfunctional monomers

III. elimination of a small byproduct molecule

Which of the following is true?

Which among the following polymers have lowest solubillty?

Which of the following category does cellulose nitrate fall into?

1. Which of the following kind of polymers are known for their high crystallinity?

1. The polymer in which steric placements of the substituent are arranged in such a way to give alternate d and l configurations, is known as _________________

The monomer used to form the polymer shown below is …

Two types of polymer are shown below. Which of the following statements concerning these polymers is correct?

What is the name of the temperature above which a polymer is soft and flexible, but below which it is hard and brittle?

Firstly, polymers are long chains which are made up of many molecules known as monomers. These monomers can be anything from amino acids, to alkenes, to alcohols. What all polymers have in common is the type of bond which holds their monomers together. What type of bond is this?

Polymers formed via addition polymerization are often used as plastics. The atoms/groups which make up the monomers determine the properties of the plastic. An example of this is polystyrene. Which monomers join together to form polystyrene?

When non-symmetrical alkenes polymerize (such as chloroethene - which makes up PVC), there 3 ways in which the groups can be arranged in 3-D space. For example, if all of the -Cl groups in polychloroethene (PVC) were arranged in the same direction in 3-D space, the polymer would be described as isotactic. What term is used to describe a polymer where the groups are arranged randomly?
