Polymers
Akopọ
Plastics are everywhere, from drink bottles to clothing, and almost all of them are polymers: giant molecules built by joining thousands of small units together. Understanding how these long chains form, from simple alkenes, explains both their usefulness and their environmental challenges.
In this lesson you will learn what a polymer and a monomer are, how many alkene monomers join by addition polymerisation to make a polymer such as poly(ethene), and why the strength of these molecules also makes their waste so hard to dispose of.
Awọn Afojusun
- Define polymers as large molecules built up from many smaller molecules called monomers.
- Describe the formation of poly(ethene) as an example of addition polymerisation using ethene monomers.
- State that plastics are made from polymers.
- Describe how the properties of plastics have implications for their disposal.
- Describe the environmental challenges caused by plastics, limited to: (a) disposal in landfill sites (b) accumulation in oceans (c) formation of toxic gases from burning.
- [Supplement] Identify the repeat units and / or linkages in addition polymers and in condensation polymers.
- [Supplement] Deduce the structure or repeat unit of an addition polymer from a given alkene and vice versa.
- [Supplement] Deduce the structure or repeat unit of a condensation polymer from given monomers and vice versa, limited to: (a) polyamides from a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine (b) polyesters from a dicarboxylic acid and a diol.
- [Supplement] Describe the differences between addition and condensation polymerisation.
- [Supplement] Describe and draw the structure of: (a) nylon, a polyamide O O O O C C N N C C N N H H H H (b) PET, a polyester O O O O C C O O C C O O The full name for PET, polyethylene terephthalate, is not required.
- [Supplement] State that PET can be converted back into monomers and re-polymerised.
