(a)
Interpretation: The reason that supports why LDPE is not used in the given application has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as
(b)
Interpretation: The two possible uses of fabric made of Spectra have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.
