Styrofoam is a trade name for polystyrene foam Styrene has an empirical formula of CH It has a molecular mass of 104 amu What is the correct molecular formula for styrene?
C8h8
What are dangers of polystyrene beads?
Polystyrene is today difficult to be recycled.
Why polystyrene is homopolymer?
Polystyrene is formed from only one monomer - styrene.
Is styrofoam the same as polystyrene?
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
When a chemist writes a shorthand version of a molecule such as glucose what do the points of the lines indicate?
When we see a "shorthand" representation of a complex organic molecule, we call this a skeletal formula. We consider the places where the lines "point" or connect and there is "nothing there" in the diagram to be carbon (C) atoms. Carbon atoms sit at the vertices of our diagram, and are implied in the skeletal formula. A link can be found below for more information.
What is the formula zinc?
Zn is the shorthand for zinc on the periodic scale of elements
What is the shorthand notation for a compound?
I suppose that you think to a chemical formula. Example: table salt (sodium chloride) has the chemical formula NaCl.
What is polystryene?
Polystyrene is an aromatic polymer of styrene. Its other name is Thermocole. Its molecular formula is (C8H8)n.
What is the shorthand way of writing a compound?
A Formula or Formulae, either one, means same thing.

Is polystyrene biodegradable?
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
What is rigid polystyrene?
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
what is the mathematical formula for density?
Density = Mass / Volume. So, to write it shorthand, you would write D = m / v.
Which has more crystalline atactic polystyrene or syndiotactic polystyre?
The atactic polystyrene is more crystalline than the syndiotactic polystyrene.
Why is polystyrene called polystyrene?
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
What does shorthand look like?
it is a shorthand
What is the mathematical formula for determining density?
Density = Mass / Volume. So, to write it shorthand, you would write D = m / v.
