NO!!! You do NOT break monomers.
However, monmers have a carbon/carbon double bond. One bond of this double bond breaks to give two 'loose ends'. These loose ends then combine with the loose ends of another mon0mers to form a polymer.
Monomer + monomer = polymer.
H2C=CH2 + H2C=CH2 = -[-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-]-(n)
H2C=CHCl + H2C=CHCl = -[-CH2-CHCl-CH2-CHCl-]-(n)
These polymers are named 'polyethylene/polychloroethen (polythene / PVC).
NB THere are many different polymers.
NB The product polymer is normally written is this way, because in polymerisation thousands if not millions of monomer molecules combine. The 'n' stands for any number in the chain .
What else can I help you with?
What is the repeating unit that builds polymers?
A monomer.
What is monomer monomer monomer polymer?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Is pectin a monomer or a polymer?
Pectin is composed of polymers.
What are the patterns in which monomers come together to form polymers?
Many polymers consist of a single kind of monomer that repeats over again multiple times.
What does the term monomer refer to?
A monomer is a small molecule that can chemically bond with other monomers to form a polymer. In polymer chemistry, monomers are the building blocks that contribute to the structure and properties of the resulting polymer.
What is the repeating unit that builds polymers?
A monomer.
What is monomer monomer monomer polymer?
a monomer Polymers are composed of monomers.
Is pectin a monomer or a polymer?
Pectin is composed of polymers.
A monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer is?
A polymer. Polymers are formed from the repetition of monomer units through chemical bonding to create long chains or networks.
How Monomer And Polymer related?
Polymers are long chains of monomers.
What is the term for the building block of polymers?
Monomers
What reaction splits organic polymers?
Organic polymers can be split into smaller molecules through the process of hydrolysis, which involves breaking the polymer chains by adding water. This reaction cleaves the bonds between the repeating units of the polymer, resulting in the formation of individual monomer units.
What are three monomers and the polymers that can be constructed from them?
Alpha Glucose is a monomer of starch beta glucose is a monomer of cellulose amino acids are monomers of polypeptide
A small molecule that joins with other small molecules to form a polymer?
All polymers are formed from monomers joining together.
Is a simple sugar a monomer or a polymer?
A simple sugar, such as glucose or fructose, is a monomer. It is a single unit that can join with other monomers to form larger molecules like polysaccharides (polymers).
Subunits that make up polymers?
It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.
Which best explains the difference between a monomer and a polymer?
A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.
