If you have this polymer

what is its monomer?

It was a question on a test on polymerization a friend of mine had one year ago, I just don't know the answer to it @_@

EDIT: problem solved I think, thanks :P

polymer is the whole shit there

and monomer is only a part of it...or something like that :/

hmm that's possible, so it is a sequence of C4H8 turned around all the time? that could explain the fact that it looks so odd at first sight. the CH2 at both ends should then be explainable, because it is a part of the polymer I guess, and they are just parts of the new C4H8 which is in the sequence

2,2,4,4,7,7,8,8-Octa-methyl-Decaan? glad i haven't tog chemistry anymore.. i suck at it :D gl!

RazZaH 1 Apr 2008, 00:59
2,2,4,4,7,7,8,8,methyl-decan tbh

or wait..there was something with di and tri...dnno

ryan is right in the name, there are eight methylgroups so octamethyl :D

i think the monomer is half of this structure
▼
perforator 1 Apr 2008, 00:56
if that really would be the case it should be a repeating pattern of either 2,4-methylpentan or 2,3-methylpentan, isn't the case ;p

true , i am still thinking :)

1,1 dimethyl-ethane ? or would it be called 2-methyl-propane, going on the longer chain... bleah, that was 2 years ago, can't remember :}
▼
perforator 1 Apr 2008, 01:54
2-methylpropane :)

"poly" means many or, in this context, repeating while "mono" means single. So a "monomer" is the single part that is repeated to form a "polymer", worked it out now?
