The conducting
Concept introduction:
Polymers are molecules with high molecular masses and are made up of repeating monomer units. Polymers are the backbone of four major chemical industries, viz., plastics, elastomers, fibers, and paintsandvarnishes.
On the basis of the mode of
Addition polymersare formed when there is a movement of electrons from multiple bonds into new single bonds between molecules without elimination of small molecule.
Polymers that are formed by elimination of small molecules like
Polymers conducts electricity because of the presence of delocalized electrons to carry charge throughout the polymer chain and are referred as conducting polymer.

- Resonance Forms Question (b) Draw two resonance forms for nitrite ion, NO2−. What can yousay about the geometry of this molecule (linear or bent)? (Hint: Consider the effect of electron repulsion exerted by the lone pair on nitrogen.) (c) The possibility of valence-shell expansion increases the number of feasibleresonance forms, and it is often difficult to decide on one that is “best.” Onecriterion that is used is whether the Lewis structure predicts bond lengths andbond angles with reasonable accuracy. Draw Lewis octet and valence-shellexpanded resonance forms for SO2(OSO). Considering the Lewis structure for SO (Exercise 1-8), its experimental bond length of1.48Å, and the measured S–O distance in SO2 of 1.43Å, which one of the various structures would you consider “best”.
