aldehydes and ketones functional group trend

A
  • polar bonds
  • increase symmetry = increase reaction efficiency
  • increase chain length = decrease in water solubility
99
Q

esters functional group trend

Q

hydrocarbons functional group trend

A
  • only dispersion forces
  • low BP
  • insoluble in water
101
Q

what is polyster

A

a condensation polymer characterised by repeating ester units. they are produced by dicarboxylic acid and diol co-monomer
- most common is PET (polythyleneterephthalate)

102
Q

PET

A

formed from condensation reaction between ethane-1,2-diol and benzene-1,4-dioic acid monomers
- ester linkage is polar due to polar C-O and C=O bonds
- benzene rings give PET rigidity
- properties (colourless, high tensile strength from polar bond, high MP, semi-crystalline, water resistance)
