Exam points

  • deduce an alkene monomer from the carbon-chain repeat unit of an addition polymer
  • deduce the addition-polymer repeat unit from a given alkene structure by converting the double bond to a single bond
  • draw and name monomers and repeat units with correct substituents, continuation bonds and displayed formulae
  • write or complete addition-polymer equations and identify the polymer formed from a specified alkene
