Polymer - ANSWER>large molecule made by repetitive linking of smaller units (monomers)
Macromolecule - ANSWER>very large molecule composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms (ex:
polymer)
1. natural (in nature)
2. synthetic (in lab) - ANSWER>two ways polymers are made
rubber, carbs: starch & cellulose, proteins, nucleic acids DNA, RNA - ANSWER>natural polymers
nylon, teflon, styrofoam, polyethylene, Dacron, - ANSWER>synthetic polymers
1. method of formation
2. final composition
3. stereochemical orientation - ANSWER>3 main ways to differentiate polymers
1. chain-growth
2. step-growth - ANSWER>Two classifications of Synthetic polymers
addition polymers - ANSWER>chain growth polymers are also know as:
made by addition of one monomer unit to another in a repetitive pattern - ANSWER>How are chain growth
polymers made?
chain growth polymerization - ANSWER>A polymerization involving sequential addition to monomers that
are unsaturated (C=C) or have some other reactive functional groups (particularly ethylene and
derivatives)
, 1. intervention
