A polymer consists of repeated, linked units. The units may be identical or structurally related to each other. Monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called a condensation reaction.
What else can I help you with?
What is the cheapest form of polymer?
polythene is cheapest form of polymer
How do macromolecules form-?
by adding monomers to create a polymer, at a certain time, a polymer becomes a macromolecule
Can an APMS polymer form a latex?
No.
Which pair of functional groups can be part of a condensation reaction form a polymer chain?
The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.
Is graphite a polymer?
It is NOT a polymer, just carbon in solid form.
When two monomers become bonded together to form a polymer What is the process called?
The process is called polymerization. It involves the chemical reaction where monomers are combined to form a polymer through the formation of covalent bonds.
Is amino acid is a polymer or monomer?
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
Is amino acids a monomer or polymer?
an amino acid is a monomer.. it joins together to form a dipeptide.. which joins together to form a polypeptide polypeptide - otherwise known as a polymer
What is the Process of linking monomers to form a polymer?
In a polymerization process, monomers are linked together by chemical bonds to form a polymer chain. This typically involves a reaction where the monomers undergo a series of steps to form polymer chains of various lengths. The process can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties depending on the monomers used and the polymerization conditions.
What are small molecule that form links in polymer chains?
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
The polymer in some sticky plasters is switched off by light because light makes bonds form between the polymer chains suggest why this may make the polymer less sticky?
The polymer must form bonds with the object if it is to stick to it. If the number of bonds between the polymer chains increases, the number of bonds they share with other objects will probably decrease, making it less sticky.
What is another word for monomer?
There are no synonyms for a monomer, it can combine with other molecules to form a polymer, but even polymer is not synonymous...
