Chapter 13, Problem 13.106P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name that corresponds to the LDPE should be given. The functional groups in LDPE should be identified. One fact about this compound should be written.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are large molecules which are composed of many repeating units, known as monomers. The monomers are covalently bonded together. When polymer is made from an alkene, the weaker pi bond is broken and new carbon − carbon single bond is formed with another monomer.

(b)

Interpretation:

The name that corresponds to the PET should be given. The functional groups in PET should be identified. One fact about this compound should be written.
