Yes. They are called polymers. But they are very old, since plastic originated in the mid-late 1800's. But we are discovering new polymers to this day.

Why is the boiling point of butanone higher than pentane?

Butane is a smaller molecule, so the London Dispersion forces between molecules of butane hold the molecule together better than the London Dispersion forces of a hexane molecule. In short, it requires more energy to separate butane molecules from each other than hexane molecules.


What kind of molecules are made from monosaccharides?

Monosaccharides can combine to form disaccharides (two monosaccharides linked together), oligosaccharides (short chains of monosaccharides), and polysaccharides (long chains of monosaccharides). These molecules are types of carbohydrates that serve as energy sources in living organisms.


How atoms combine to make a bond?

Atoms combine together to form molecules. In molecules the consitutent atoms are held together by attractive forces. This attractive force which binds the atoms in a molecules is called as bond.


Water molecules stick to other substances?

its all polar. The molecules are made up of two hydrogen and one oxygen molecule. They arrange themselves in a assymetrical way. This causes the molecule to have a different charge at one end than the other, so the molecules are attracted to one another. That's the short answer, depending on how specific you need there is probably and really specific definition on wikipedia, just read about the physical properties of the water molecule, it is a quite interesting and unique molecule.Also called cohesion.


Which fraction in the fractional distillation of crude oil has the longest chain molecule?

The fraction with the longest chain molecules in the fractional distillation of crude oil is the residue left behind after all other fractions have been collected. This residue contains the heaviest and longest hydrocarbon molecules, such as those found in bitumen and pitch.

What is the result of intermolecular forces being repulsive and attractive varying distances?

Once molecules become close enough to touch, intermolecular forces become repulsive. This is what prevents one molecule from overlapping another. Intermolecular forces pull molecules together at a long range and hold them apart at short range.


Difference between atoms and molecules?

Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are chemically bonded together. In short, atoms are individual units, while molecules are made up of multiple atoms bonded together.


Why ligation can be considered the reverse of the restriction enzyme process?

Restriction enzymes cuts out a specific short nucleotide sequence while as the process of ligation, DNA ligase joins them together. So ligase can be considered the reverse of the restriction enzyme process as it joins DNA fragments together instead of cutting them out.

What is the main storage molecule in animals?

Animals have molecules that can store energy for short term and long term periods of time. Animals use carbohydrates as short term storage and Lipids as long term storage.


What is the energy storage molecule produced by photosynthesis?

My guess would be ATP (short for Adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH


How do water molecules form and interact?

Water molecules stick together when they get closer together. This is due to the partial positive charge of the hydrogen atoms and the partial negative charge of the oxygen atom. The sticking together is called cohesion.


What is the difference between excimer and exciplex?

An exciplex is an excited state whose wavefunction overlaps a neighboring, dissimilar molecule. In contrast to an exciplex, an excimer is an emissive excited state whose wavefunction overlaps two adjacent molecules of like composition.
