polymerisation Flashcards
1
Q
what hydorcarbons are used for addition polymerisation
A
alkenes
2
Q
why are alkenes used in addition polymerisation
A
because they are unsaturated because they have a cabon carbon double bond
3
Q
what two types of hydrocarbons are used to make polyesters
A
carvboxilic acids (OOH) and alchols (OH)
4
Q
what is the ester link
A
C double bonded to oxygen and single bonded to another oxygen
5
Q
what are the three things required for condensation polymerisation
A
two functional groups on each monomer
two different functional groups in total
A small molecule to be given off often water
6
Q
How much water(small molecules) are given off in condensation polymerisation
A
2n (one from the left one from the right)
