ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: FORMATION OF POLYMERSSIMPLIFIED
(POLYTHENE, TERYLENE AND NYLON)
- Macromolecules are formed by joining small
units together.
- Polymers are macromolecules made by joining
small single units called polymers:
MONOMER+MONOMER+MONOMER=POLYMER
NB: POLYMERS ARE MADE FROM ALKENES
THAT HAVE DOUBLE BONDS
TYPES OF POLYMERS
- There are main two forms of ploymers namely:
a)Synthetic polymers- These are polymers
which are man made e.g nylon, terylene and
polythene
b) Natural polymers- These are polymers
which are naturally occurring and not man
made e.g starch, cellulose
These polymers are further group into:
, 1.ADDITION POLYMERS: These are
polymers made by adding two or more
monomers of the same type together to
form one giant structure called a
polymers e.g polythene.
Polythene is made from ethene like the
name suggests. If we join ethene monomers
together, they form one giant structure
called polythene:
