What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
Long chain-like molecule made of repeating units?
Molecules consisting of chains of repeating units are called polymers. Polymers are made up of smaller molecules that join to form these larger molecules. Examples of polymers include starch and nylon.
What are small molecule that form links in polymer chains?
The links in a polymer chain are covalent bonded.
When monomers link together the usually form?
polymers
Atoms bonded together to form a chemical unit are called?
Molecules
A small molecule that joins with other small molecules to form a polymer?
All polymers are formed from monomers joining together.
What is the biggest hydrocarbon?
Amino acids are the largest hydrocarbon molecules. However on our planet they are able to link to each other and form protein molecules.
What types of molecules are lost in a condensation reaction?
Small molecules of water, hydrogen chloride, methanol and acetic acid.These are called polymers and are in the form of small molecules which are lost as by products of the condensation such as water. This loss of smaller molecule happens as the result of 2 molecules combining.
What compounds form molecules?
I am not clear about the answer required here. Elements form molecules. Many compounds form polymers, either naturally or synthetically.
Does dehydration synthesis build or break down molecuels?
Build. Dehydration is a condensation reaction - monomers (small molecules) react together to form larger molecules (polymers) - and water is eliminated when they link together.
What is the name of the reactions that join monomers together to form polymers?
The monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers
What do atoms form bonds to?
basically - other atoms. That is how molecules are formed and then complex molecules like proteins and polymers etc
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.
How a substance interacts with itself?
Some materials can form polymers, molecules linked by shared electrons.
What small organic molecules form carbohydrate chains?
Carbohydrates are a class of nutrients. All nutrients have monomers which are the organic building blocks of polymers. Under carbohydrates, there are the polymers, polysaccarides, and the monomers, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are linked together through condensation (dehydration) reactions to form chains of disaccharides and polysaccarides.
Are hydrogen and oxygen polymers?
No, they are elements that usually exist as diatomic (two-atom) molecules in their elemental form.
What are hydrocarbons that have been chemically changed into familiar plastic and rubber?
Polymers. They form long chains of a repeating monomeric unit (the hydrocarbon).
