Part of a polymer molecule has the following structure. -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2 -CH2-, what will be it's monomer?

Correct answer: A. C2H4

  • A. C2H4
  • B. C2H6
  • C. C3H6
  • D. C3H8

Explanation

In this process, small organic molecules (monomers) combine together to form larger molecules known as Polymers. Ethene at 400°C and 100 atm pressure, polymerize to polythene or polyethylene. Good quality polythene is obtained when ethene is polymerized in the presence of aluminum triethyl Al(C2H5) and titanium tetrachloride catalysts (TiCl4).

About Biological Molecules

The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
