What is smallest to largest polymer monomer carbon atom and macromolecule?

The smallest unit is the carbon atom, followed by the monomer, which is a single repeating unit of a polymer. The macromolecule is the largest structure, made up of multiple monomers linked together to form a polymer chain.


What are Macromolecule are starches and glycogen?

Polysaccharides


What monomer is most likely to form an addition polymer?

A monomer with a carbon-carbon double bond (alkene) is most likely to form an addition polymer. The double bond can be broken to allow the monomers to add together without the formation of any byproducts.


What is the polymer of dna known as?

The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.


Does breaking monomer cause polymers?

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 .

How many carbon atoms in rubber?

Rubber is a polymer made up of cis-1,4-polyisoprene which is found in the sap of the rubber tree. Because it is a polymer a macromolecule and has a very large and indeterminate number of carbon atoms.


Polyethylene is a polymer made from ethane molecules that have been joined together. What is ethane in this polymer?

Is polystyrene a covalent bond?

Polystyrene is a polymer made of repeating monomer units of styrene, which is a covalent compound. The bonds between the carbon and hydrogen atoms within the styrene monomer are covalent bonds.

Is methane a polymer?

No, Methane is not a polymer. Methane is a monomer. A Polymer consists of monomer units linked together with a series of covalent bonding. One of the best example for polymer is Polyethylene(PE).

What kind of atom forms the backbone of monomer and a polymer?

The Carbon atom usually forms the backbone of polymers and quite often oxygen can do also as in polyether polyols etc.
