Concept introduction: Polymer is a type of naturally occurring or synthetic made compound, which is made up of simpler units of a monomer.
Answer to Problem 44A
Polymer has different properties which are directly proportional to its structure.
Explanation of Solution
Multiple monomer units combine together to form a polymer. Polymers are found naturally in the environment and can even be synthesized in the laboratory.
Polymers have different properties depending on their structure.
For example, polymers with higher molecular weight led to the entanglement and flexibility of the polymer chain.
Polyethylene is the most common form of plastic that is used in the day-to-day activities of human beings.
Polyethylene is a lightweight polymer that offers no moisture absorption.
