What is a regular repeating arrangement of atoms ions or molecules?
A regular repeating arrangement of atoms, ions and molecules is called a crystal. This structure has its plane faces in a symmetrical order.
Compute the degree of polymerization of polystyrene?
The degree of polymerization(n) is the ratio between Molecular weight(M) and the molar mass of the repeating unit in a polymer(m). M=n*m The molar mass(m) of the monomer (styrene) is 104.15 grams/mol if you are given a Molecular weight, just devide by m, and you've got it!
Are triglyceride a monomer?
Typically, it is not a polymer, just a large molecule comprises glycol(the back bone) and 3 branches of fatty acids. However, during storage for long time, or heating, it can react to form radicals. These radicals initiate a polymerization reaction. Therefore, deep fried oil contains a lot of polymeric molecules.
Which high molecular weight substances are made up of repeating units of these molecules?
starch and cellulose
What type of molecule is defined as a chain of repeating copies of smaller molecules?
This is a polymer.
Is hydrolysis the synthesis of giant molecules from components of repeating units?
No. Hydrolysis is breaking apart the components of a macromolecule. Dehydration synthesis is the synthesis of macromolecules from components of repeating units.
What are molecules that are long chains of repeating molecules?
polymers
What are the similarities between addition polymerization and condensation polymerization?
Polymerization describes the formation of of large molecules (polymers) with repeating structure from smaller molecules (monomers) . The word polymer comes from Greek words meaning many (poly-) and parts (-mer). Many of the resulting molecules are plastics, so polymer is occasionally used in place of the word plastic, though this is not an accurate usage. Polymerization is an all-encompassing term that describes formation of polymers by any method.There are two main types of polymerization; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Addition polymerization creates larger molecules by opening up double bonds on the smaller molecules (monomers). These opened-up bonds react with parts of other monomers (single part) to form dimers (double part). This reaction can repeat to add another molecule to for a trimer (three part). This continues until you obtain the right size molecule and you stop the reaction. Addition polymerixation can occur using a single type of monomer. There are no by products of the reaction except the longer chain molecules (polymers).In condensation polymerization, two monomers of different types are used. They have different types of reactive (or functional) groups on them. A reaction between monomer A and monomer B results in a dimer, plus another small molecule (often water) that is not part of the polymer. To create long polymers the monomers must have reactive groups on both ends or a chain cannot be formed.Polymerization is an all-encompassing term for creating polymers by any method. Condensation Polymerization is a term denoting a specific type of reaction for creating polymers.
What is repeating units in DNA called?
alternating sugar and phosphate molecules.
The repeating unit of cellulose is?
large molecules make up of chains of repeating units are called POLYMERS.
What are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?
Nucleotides are repeating subunits that make up DNA.
What is a solid geometeric form that results from a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules?
A crystal.
A repeating pattern of atoms ions of molecules in a mineral is called a?
crystalline structure
Which macromolecules are made repeating small units?
Thrse molecules are called polymers.
What is a regular repeating arrangement of atoms ions or molecules?
A regular repeating arrangement of atoms, ions and molecules is called a crystal. This structure has its plane faces in a symmetrical order.
Polymers are large organic molecules that are made up of?
False, polymers are molecules made from repeating units of identical or nearly identical compounds called monomers that are linked together by a series of covalent bonds.
Compute the degree of polymerization of polystyrene?
The degree of polymerization(n) is the ratio between Molecular weight(M) and the molar mass of the repeating unit in a polymer(m). M=n*m The molar mass(m) of the monomer (styrene) is 104.15 grams/mol if you are given a Molecular weight, just devide by m, and you've got it!
