Does Polystyrene contain benzene rings?

Yes (and no!) The styrene molecule is a benzene ring with a -CH=CH2 group attached. In the polymerisation process, the double bonds in two adjacent groups are broken and joined to form a chain: -CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-....... with a benzene ring off each -CH- group. I believe the benzene group is referred to as a "phenyl group" in complex molecules, such as polymers like polystyrene.


Is ethanol a mixture or compound?

Ethanol is a compound (organic). Ethanol is abbreviated as EtOH, using the common organic chemistry notation of representing the ethyl group (C2H5) with Et. This designation is used both by EMS and Hospital ER staff when describing alcohol intoxication, and is found in most chemistry textbooks as well.Ethanol is a straight-chain alcohol, and its molecular formula is C2H5OH. An alternative notation is CH3-CH2-OH, which indicates that the carbon of a methyl group (CH3-) is attached to the carbon of a methylene group (-CH2-), which is attached to the oxygen of a hydroxyl group (-OH). Its empirical formula is C2H6O, making it an isomer of dimethyl ether.
