VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
1). Large molecule made by repetitive linking of smaller units (monomers)
Ans: Polymer
2). Very large molecule composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms (ex: polymer)
Ans: Macromolecule
3). Two ways polymers are made
Ans: 1. natural (in nature)
2. synthetic (in lab)
4). Natural polymers
Ans: rubber, carbs: starch & cellulose, proteins, nucleic acids DNA, RNA
5). Synthetic polymers
Ans: nylon, teflon, styrofoam, polyethylene, Dacron,
6). 3 main ways to differentiate polymers
Ans: 1. method of formation
2. final composition
3. stereochemical orientation
7). Two classifications of synthetic polymers
Ans: 1. chain-growth
2. step-growth
8). Chain growth polymers are also know as:
PaperStoc.com Page 1 of 15
, Ans: addition polymers
9). How are chain growth polymers made?
Ans: made by addition of one monomer unit to another in a repetitive pattern
10). A polymerization involving sequential addition to monomers that are unsaturated (c=c) or
have some other reactive functional groups (particularly ethylene and derivatives)
Ans: chain growth polymerization
11). What 2 things stops chain growth polymerization?
Ans: 1. intervention
2. consumption of all available monomers
