Monomers of Polymers Question.. (1 Viewer)

What do the monomers of these polymers look like?

 

[Pwnage101]

look for repeating units, the first one just split in half and there are ur monomers, with a Hydrogen on the right end and a hydroxyl group on the left end of course, since theyb look like condensation polymers ie:

a) (HOOC)(NH)(CH2)4(CH3) - [Hope u understand my notation]

b) i think that whole unit is the monomer, just ad H and OH to the ends

c) what i wrote for (b) applies here aswell, methinks

very wierd Q though....

aiiiight. thanks for that. just needed verification cause we have this stupid sub for the next week.

a) I think there are two monomers: (CH₂)₅COOH and H₂N-(CH₂)₅
This is called peptide bonding, and the polymer formed is an amide.

b) Don't think it works like that. All these questions are to do with peptide bonding.
Again, I think there are 2 monomers.
(CH₂)₈ - COOH and (CH₂)₆- NH₂

c) (CH₂)₁₀- NH₂ and (CH₂)₁₀- COOH

Don't worry about these questions too much... Peptide bonding is out of the HSC syllabus.

Phew. I've never learned or experienced peptide bonding before.
