Monomer A small molecule that can be joined to make others in long chains to make it a polymer.
Branched chain A chain of carbon atoms with short branches.
Polymerise The joining together of lots of small molecules called monomers to form a long chain molecule called a polymer.
Crystalline polymer A polymer with crystals lined up in a regular way as in a crystal.
Crude oil A dark, oily liquid found in the Earth, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbon A compound of hydrogen and carbon only. Ethane is a hydrocarbon.
Fraction A mixture of hydrocarbons with similar boiling points that have been separated from crude oil by fractional distillation.
Fractional distillation The process of separating crude oil into groups of molecules with similar boiling points called fractions.
Chemical synthesis Making a new chemical by joining together simpler chemicals.
Material The polymers, metals, glasses and ceramics that we use to make all sorts of objects and structures.
Properties The physical and chemical characteristics of a chemical are what make it different from other chemicals.
Polymer A material made of very long molecules formed by joining lots of small molecules called monomers together.

Mixture Two or more different chemicals, mixed but not joined chemically.
