- Some polymeric materials are opaque and some are clear and tranparent. Explain why.arrow_forwardTeflon is the polymer used to create non-stick surfaces on cookware. The monomer for Teflon is tetrafluoroethene. a. Draw tetrafluoroethene. b. What type of polymerization reaction would be used to create Teflon? c. Show the repeat unit of Teflon. d. Explain based on the molecular structure of Teflon why it would have the non-stick and chemically resistant properties that make it suitable for use in pots and pans.arrow_forwardSketch a portion of the acrylonitrile polymer assuming it is a (a) head-to-head polymer(b) head-to-head,tail-to-tail polymerarrow_forward
