What to Focus On
- Polymers are large molecules made of repeating monomer units.
- Monomers are small molecules that join together to form polymers.
- Polymerization is the process of forming polymers from monomers.
- Homopolymers are made from a single type of monomer.
- Copolymers are made from two or more different monomers.
- Copolymers often have improved properties compared to homopolymers.
- Addition polymerization: no by-product, fast, involves unsaturated monomers.
- Condensation polymerization: produces small molecules like H₂O, step-wise process.
- Condensation polymers have amide or ester linkages.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Addition and condensation polymerization are the same because both form long chains.
All polymers are synthetic.
Monomer of nylon-66 is caprolactam.
