Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.58PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Isotactic or syndiotactic
Concept introduction:
An isotactic polymer is compound that is formed by the arrangement of monomers in the same pattern of its chain backbone. It indicates that all groups attached to carbon atom are pointing towards backward. Vinyl chloride follows the same sequence while forming the polymer and produces the isotactic PVC. A sydiotactic is the direction of adjacent molecules alternatively arranged (backward and front) to form a polymer.
