Question 30.26
Question
Draw the structure of the polymer formed by step-growth polymerization of each monomer or pair of monomers.
a.
b.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Answer
a.
b.
1Step 1: Step-growth polymerization
The polymers are created by the reaction between the different functional groups of the monomer units. An example of step-growth polymerization is condensation polymerization.
2Step 2: Structure of the polymer formed by step-growth polymerization of each monomer
a. The bond line structure of the ball and stick model can be given as:
Structure of monomer
The polymerization of structure a can be given as:
Polymerization of structure a
b. The skeletal structure of b can be given as:
Skeletal structure of b
