• Condensation or dehydration synthesis reactions.
• Monomers are covalently linked to one another through the removal of water.

When an organic solid is melted are covalent bonds broken?
no. melting is a physical change and does not involve breaking of covalent bonds
When covalent bonds in organic molecules are broken the energy is not used immediately Instead the released energy is stored in?
molecules of ATP.
Are polymers broken down by the process of hydrogenation?
no.
Are covalent bonds broken when a substance boils?
No. Only the weaker physical bonds that hold covalent molecules in a liquid state are broken by boiling or other vaporization.
What is the type of bonding of plastic?
plastics are polymers, they start as monomers (mono = one small molecule) which have (usually) a double bond between carbon atoms which is broken to allow two monomers to form a covalent bond, this covalent bonding thru broken double bonds continues on both ends of the monomer forming a long chain molecule, polymer (poly = many small molecules now joined together to form a giant molecule).

What type of chemical reaction occurs when polymers are broken apart by water?
Hydrolysis. Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis
Are polymers broken down by the process of hydrogenation?
no.
Is broken glass organic?
No it is not Organic! (:
Polymers that can be broken down in the soil are said to be?
In soil !! x
What is the process in which polymers are broken down into simpler monomers?
hydrolysis
Does breaking monomer cause polymers?
No. Monomers are the building blocks of Polymers. When a Polymer is broken (by Hydrolysis) you get monomers or a monomer and a shorter ploymer.
Condensation polymers can be broken down into their monomers by what kind of reaction?
HYDROLYSIS
Why are glycosidic ester and peptide bonds called dehydration linkages?
They shouldn't be called that. The condensation reactions that form those linkages form the linkage + H2O. When the link is broken it causes the lost of a water.
What difference between organic and inorganic with examples?
Organic molecules are made up of C, H, O, and can include N, P, Halogens, OH... ex: methane CH4 Inorganics can be broken down into 2 catigories: -Ionic: NaCl -covalent/molecular: CO2
Are covalent bonds broken when a substance boils?
No. Only the weaker physical bonds that hold covalent molecules in a liquid state are broken by boiling or other vaporization.
