addition polymers - CORRECT ANSWER-chain growth polymers are
also know as:
made by addition of one monomer unit to another in a repetitive
pattern - CORRECT ANSWER-How are chain growth polymers made?
chain growth polymerization - CORRECT 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
2. consumption of all available monomers - CORRECT ANSWER-what 2
things stops chain growth polymerization?
,Teflon - CORRECT ANSWER-chain-growth
polymer: polytetrafluoroethylene
monomer: F2C=CF2
nonstick coating, goretex, electrical insulator, chem-resistant coating
Polymer - CORRECT ANSWER-large molecule made by repetitive
linking of smaller units (monomers)
Macromolecule - CORRECT ANSWER-very large molecule composed of
thousands of covalently bonded atoms (ex: polymer)
1. natural (in nature)
2. synthetic (in lab) - CORRECT ANSWER-two ways polymers are made
