Question 9

Monomer

Answer 9

a type of small molecule, single unity, basic structural unit

Question 10

Polymer

Answer 10

a type of molecule made up of repeating monomers, macromolecules, formed in polymerization, length of chain and types of monomers affect properties

Question 11

Dehydration Synthesis

Answer 11

also called condensation, water is produced between monomer bonding

Question 12

Hydrolysis

Answer 12

Water molecules break the bonds between monomers

Question 13

Why is carbon a versatile building block for organic molecules?

Answer 13

Makes hydrocarbons hydrophilic, makes them have distinct properties

Question 14

How can functional groups determine the function of organic molecules?

Answer 14

Their polarity, charge, and their chemical formula

Question 15

Relationship between Monomers and Polymers

Answer 15

A polymer is a strand of monomers.
