MONOMERS AND POLYMERS
Cards in this deck (11)
- 1WHAT IS A MONOMER?A monomer is a molecule that can bond to any other identical molecule to form a polymer.
- 2HOW DO YOU REPRESENT THIS?
- 3ANOTHER WAY TO REPRESENT A MONOMER IS?
- 4MONOMERS ARE..(CHEM)Monomers are small chemical units from which larger chemical compounds can be formed.
- 5POLYMERS ARE..(CHEM)Polymers are large molecules made up of monomers joined by chemical bonds.
- 6POLYMER EXAMPLES?AMINO ACIDS
MONOSACCHARIDES
NUCLEOTIDES
POLYSTYRENE
POLYESTER
NYLON - 7WHAT IS THE GENERAL STRUCTURE OF AN AMINO ACID?
- 8CONDENSATION POLYMERISATION?Some polymers are produced by this and when the condensation polymerisation occurs a small molecule (mostly water) is formed as a by product.
- 9EXAMPLE OF COND POLYMERISATION?
- 10WHAT IS HYDROLYSIS?Breaking of chemical bonds due to a reaction with water.
