Which is more disordered a polymer or a collection of monomers?

A collection of monomers is more disordered than polymers. More linked subunits in varied arrangements allows for more random movement, bond formations, and thus energy release. The entropy of a group of monomers is greater than a polymer of the same size.

What is a large molecule that is formed by more than 5 monomers?
A polymer is a large molecule that is formed by more than 5 monomers. Polymers are also found in macromolecules.
Which natural polymer contains 3000 or more glucose monomers?
cellulose
Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
When monomers are linked they form molecules called?
DNA is made of small units called nucleotides. One nucleotide generally contains a phosphate group, a sugar (Deoxyribose), and nitrogen bases (Purines:Adenine, Guanine; and Pyrimidines: Cytosine, and Thymine)
Why does adding more initiators result in shorter polymer chains?
The more initiator molecules there are, the more chains get started. Since the chains compete for monomers, if there are 5 times as many chains obviously they will be shorter on average.
What is a large molecule that is formed by more than 5 monomers?
A polymer is a large molecule that is formed by more than 5 monomers. Polymers are also found in macromolecules.
What forms a polymer when two or more join together?
When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.
Which natural polymer contains 3000 or more glucose monomers?
cellulose
What is the difference between a cross linked polymer and a polymer?
Cross linked polymers are made of 2 or more monomers whereas a simple polymer is made up of a single monomer.
How do polymers form?
monomers are the small atoms or molecules which joint covalently to form polymers,,,,,,,this process of polymer formation is called polymerizatin,,,,,,,,polymerization is of two types,,,,,1.addition polymerizatin2.condensation polymerization.
Do a monomer or polymer contain more molecules?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Large molecules that are formed by joining smaller organic molecules together?
A polymer. The smaller molecules are called monomers. For example, many glucose molecules (the monomers) linked together make a starch molecule (the polymer). Similarly, many amino acid molecules (the monomers) linked together form a protein molecule (the polymer). For more in formation about polymers, starting at the very beginning, see: http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/wiap.htm

What is the difference between monomers and isomers?
Monomers and isomers are completely different. Monomers are building blocks of polymers/macromolecules. For example, amino acids are the monomers of proteins and monosaccharides are monomers of carbohydrates. Isomers, on the other hand, are molecules with the same number of atoms in a compound, but different arrangements of bonds or shapes.
How can you make a flexible polymer more rigid?
At the design stage adding molecules/monomers with more rings than chains will make the polymer more rigid. If this option is not available, adding fiber or particles or fillers is the usual technique. You can make a stiff polymer more flexible by adding plasticizers, but going the other way is more difficult. Technically speaking the polymer itself isn't changing, but the material overall will be more rigid than the polymer matrix due to the fiber support.
How many glycerol molecules are in phospholipid?
For a Lpid molecule, it contain 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acidmolecules but I do not think a Phospholipid molecule contain any glycerol molecules as they are replaced by the phosphate group.
How does monomers joint in Condensation polymer?
monomers what to get rid of the strained double or tipple bonds lets say 2 C=C join and become C-C-C-C same ratio of carbon to other atoms but no more double bonds
