Interpretation:
The structure of Saran
Concept introduction:
A polymer is a substance with very high molecular mass in which each constituent unit is arranged in a regular manner with the help of covalent bonds.
The simplest unit of a polymer is known as the “monomer”. The reaction through which the monomers get converted into larger unit of a polymer is called as “
Given:
Saran polymer is made up of two monomers- vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride as follows:
The monomers are added alternately to form the Saran polymer.
