Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reason behind the fact that why CFC are phased out as refrigerators, aerosol sprays, foams and medical inhalers has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The way how the given property of CFC is linked with their phased out fact has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: 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. Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
(c)
Interpretation:
The properties shared among HDPE, LDPE, PVC and PS with CFC has to be named.
Concept Introduction:
Polymers: 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. Polymers are macromolecules which are formed a by number of repeating units called monomers.
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
(d)
Interpretation:
The reasons that unlike CFC it is highly unlikely that plastics will be phased out has to be identified.

Chemistry In Context
- Write the Lewis structures and give the electron-region geometry, molecular geometry, and bond angles, and the hybridization of the central atom of these polyatomic ions and molecules. (a) BrF2+ (b) OCCl2 (c) CH3+ (d) SeCS (e) CH3arrow_forwardIn a town (before 1950) where high amounts of PVC products were manufactured, many people in the town and surroundings, experience sickness due to the toxin agent vinyl chloride, a byproduct of polyvinyl chloride (commonly known as PVC) reaction. Hi, can you elaborate on the following: do you think modern day EPA and Federal regulations (if they were similarly in place in the early 1950’s) would have been effective in countering vinyl chloride toxicity problem before it started to affect individuals, or do you think that even with regulation in place this threat might have occurred the same way? Why? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardBelow is a list of pros and cons to using aluminum cans versus plastic bottles based on this less is using the substance a good choice in addition to the youth usefulness of its properties how did you consider the social environmental and Economical factors in determining its effectivenessarrow_forward
