What is Polymers and monomer
Question : What is Polymers and monomer ?
- Polymers
It is a compound of large molecules having High molecular mass .it's formed by high molecular mass .it is formed by joining small repeating units monomer by the process of polymerization
. For Example of Polymer : ethene (monomer ) form Polymers polythene .
- Monomer
These are the simple molecules which unit through chemical bonds either by additional or condensations polymerization are called monomer
For example of monomer :Glucose, Amino acid
Question : What the natural and synthetic polymers .Give example of natural and synthetic polymers ?
- Natural Polymers
these Polymers which commonly found in plant and animals are called natural Polymers
For example of natural Polymers : starch , cellulose, Proteins etc.
- Synthetic polymers
These are polymer in which polymer are synthesized with the help of chemical in industries are called synthetic polymers
For example of synthetic polymers : polythene, nylon 66 , synthetic rubber etc.
There are two types of polymers:
- Homopolymer
A polymer in which a single type of monomer are used ,is called homopolymer For example: polyethene , polystyrene etc..
- Copolymer
A polymer in which the monomer are More than one type is called copolymer
For example : Buna S Buna N
