The physical properties of polymers are influenced by the average relative molecular mass of the polymer chains and by the functional groups in the monomers.
(a)[5]
For polymer A, polymer B and polymer C, give the structure of the monomer(s) and state the reaction type used to form each polymer.
(b(i))[1]
Suggest why B has a lower density than A.
(b(ii))[1]
Which polymer has the weakest forces between chains, and what type of forces are they?
Worked solution & mark scheme
This 7-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “The monomers are identified correctly.” …
