Draw the repeating unit of an addition polymer from the structure of an alkene monomer, work back from a section of polymer chain to the monomer, and recognise common examples such as polyethene, PVC and polystyrene.
The displayed formula below shows part of the chain of an addition polymer. (i) Deduce the structural formula of the monomer used to build this polymer. (ii) Describe one chemical property responsible for this type of polymer being a useful material.
Which monomer produces this addition polymer? A. B. C. D.
4-Methylstyrene is capable of undergoing polymerization. Draw a section of the resulting polymer chain, showing three repeating units, and state what type of polymerization this is.
The repeating unit of an addition polymer is . Which monomer forms this polymer? A. B. C. D.
