The structure of
Concept introduction:
A monomer is a single molecule of any polymeric compound. It can be bonded to other compounds with a double bond or a single bond to form a polymer. An addition polymer is formed by simple linking of monomer units without co-generating the product.
Answer to Problem 15.1YT
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
It is a complete form of polymer. All double bonds are converted into single bonds. In this process, no atom is lost or gained, but a monomer is joined to form a polymer by the addition reaction.
A simple representation of addition of monomer is
Similarly, monomer
Here, it represents the polymer in the form of polyvinyl fluoride.
Polyvinyl fluoride is very useful in household products because of its resistant capability.
