C4 condensation polymers
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1What does condensation polymerisation include?2 different types of monomers which contain at least 2 functional groups, different to each other.
- 2What happens when each functioning group reacts with the functional group of another monomer?long chains of alternating monomers are created, and for each new bond, a small molecule (e.g. water) is lost
- 3What are the two types of links between condensation polymers?ester and amide
- 4What is the ester link?
- 5what is the amide link
- 6When does polyester form?When dicarboxylic acid monomers react with idol monomers
- 7When does polyamides form?When dicarboxylic acid and diamine monomers react together
- 8What is the main difference between polyester and polyamides chemically?polyester has ester links
polyamides have amide links - 9How can you find the formulas of the monomers used to make a condensation polymer from its repeating unit?break either the ester or amide link and then add an H or an OH either side of both molecules
- 10How can you work out the repeating unit of the condensation unit?remove the OH or H from either side of both the monomers, and join the C to the N or C to the O using a single bond.
