Explanation of Solution

The structure of polyethylene polymer is as follows:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  1

From the above structure, it can be seen that the repeating units are:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  2

Thus, the monomer for the given polymer is ethylene.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The monomer for polyethylene terephthalate needs to be determined.

Explanation of Solution

The structure of polyethylene terephthalate polymer is as follows:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  3

From the above structure, it can be seen that the polymer is formed using two monomers and the formation of polyethylene terephthalate is represented as follows:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  4

Thus, the monomers for the given polymer are dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The monomer for polytetrafluoroethylene needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The monomer units combined together to form polymer in the polymerization reaction. There are two types: addition and condensation polymerization.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The structure of polytetrafluoroethylene polymer is as follows:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  5

From the above structure, it can be seen that the repeating units are:

Chemistry: Matter and Change, Chapter 22, Problem 56A , additional homework tip  6

Thus, the monomer for the given polymer is tetrafluoroethylene.
