Polymers

Question 1

ways to vary polymers

Answer 1

branching
carbon length
cross linkage

Question 2

isomers

Answer 2

different forms of the same umber of carbons

Question 3

intermolecular forces

Answer 3

polarity-attracted to each other makes it harders to seperate
length of the molecule- the longer the chain the longer it will take to seperate because they will tangle up
branching- with branching they will have to sepertely remove many other branches as well making it take longer
forces

Question 4

intramolecular forces

Answer 4

attractions within the same molecule have a chemical bond

Question 5

neutral polymers

Answer 5

DNA
protiens(amino acids)
cotton 
linen
rubber
cellulose

Question 6

petroleum

Answer 6

> fractional distillation>catalytic cracking>alenes(fuel), and alkenes(plastic, monomers)

Question 7

synthetic polymers

Answer 7

nylon
acrylic
styrofoam
polyvrethane
spandex
polyster

Question 8

condensation

Answer 8

take away H from OH and take away HO from ethers to make water and an ester

Question 9

terminization

Answer 9

after you add polymers and 2 free radicals link up

Question 10

free radicals

Answer 10

when an initiator takes an electron from an alkene leaving one electron byitself the free radical
