Question

4. What is the term used for many molecules joined together to form long chains?
5. What is the monomer of the polyamide, of which nylon is made of?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Polymers and Polymerization

Polymers are large molecules made by joining smaller units together in long chains. ... many monomers joined in a long chain is termed a polymer, meaning many units. a polymer composed of monomer units which are all the same is a homopolymer.

Answer 2

4.

Polymers are big molecules formed by chaining together smaller pieces. The polymer's chemical and physical characteristics are vastly different from those of its component smaller units.

• Monomers are tiny molecules having a wide range of chemical characteristics that may be linked together in lengthy chains, similar to beads on a string.

• A dimer is formed when two monomers are linked together, a trimer is formed when three monomers are brought together, and so on.

• A polymer, or many units, is made up of many monomers linked together in a continuous chain.

• A homopolymer is a polymer made up of monomer units that are all the same.

• A heteropolymer is a polymer made up of two or more distinct types of monomer units.

5.

Nylon-6 is manufactured from caprolactam, a monomer. It's worth noting that this already has an amide link. The ring opens up and the molecules come together in a continuous chain when this molecule polymerizes.
