Monomers And Polymers

Question 1

Answer 1

Long chain like molecules made up 1000s of repeating unit joined together

Question 2

WHAT IS POLYMERISATION?

Answer 2

Needs heat and pressure and joins thousands of monomers together in a long chain to make a polymer

Question 3

WHAT IS A MONOMER

Answer 3

Ethene is called a monomer just one small molecule

Can use ethene to make plastics

Question 4
