Concept introduction: The molecules which are obtained by the combination of similar units and possessing high molecular mass are known as
Answer to Problem 31.1P
The shorthand structures of poly(vinyl chloride) and nylon
Explanation of Solution
The monomer required for the formation of poly(vinyl chloride) is vinyl chloride.
A shorthand structure of polymers represents the brackets that are placed around the repeating unit of the chain.

- what is the polyESTER version of nylon-6,10, and what monomers make the polyester?arrow_forwardHydrogen bonding between polyamide chains plays animportant role in determining the properties of a nylonsuch as nylon 6,6 (Table 12.6). Draw the structuralformulas for two adjacent chains of nylon 6,6 and showwhere hydrogen-bonding interactions could occur betweenthem.arrow_forwardWhat do the two numbers correspond to in the name “Nylon-6,10?” Write the chemical structure of the repeat unit for “Nylon-4,6".arrow_forward
- 5. 1) Discuss how polymerization changes the properties of any ensemble of amino acids so that a protein polymer functions essentially differently than an aggregate of amino acids. 2) Why does a protein need to be a polymer in order to properly function??arrow_forwardWhich factor imparts crystalline nature to a polymer like nylon?arrow_forwardBriefly Differentiate between Tg and Tm polymers.arrow_forward
- Why is sulfur mustard comparatively less permeable to urethane polymer than polymers like polyethylene. Will a polyethylene gas mask be effective against sulfur mustard?arrow_forwardWhat is the structural difference between HDP and LDP? How does the structure account for different behaviour and nature, hence the use of a polymer?arrow_forwardPolystyrene synthetic polymer Monomer - styrene It is clear,hard,brittle and rigid Use- rigid trays , container, disposable eating utensils,foamed cups,plates and bowls. Briefly explain the point above about why Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer.arrow_forward
