Exam points
- classify an all-carbon backbone repeat unit as addition polymerisation and restore the monomer C=C bond
- classify ester- or amide-linked chains as condensation polymers and cut the linkage to recover monomers
- check that the recovered monomer structures regenerate the displayed repeat unit before naming the type
35.2.2—The type of polymerisation reaction question 1
Table 4.1 shows the structures of sections of three polymers, X, Y and Z.
Each polymer is made from only one type of monomer.
Table 4.1
Complete Table 4.2 to state the type of polymerisation and draw the structure of the monomer for each polymer, X, Y and Z.
