Chapter 8.SE, Problem 57AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the structure of a segment of the copolymer, Saran, the two monomers which copolymerize to give it are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

A copolymer is a large molecule built by repetitive bonding of many simpler molecules called as monomers arranged alternatively. By identifying the repetitive units in the polymer the monomers that give the copolymer can be identified.

To identify:

From the structure of a segment of the copolymer, Saran, the two monomers which copolymerize to give it.
