Question

(a) Complete the following equations
i) nCH2=CH2 → .................

Answer 1

$\huge{\bold{\Red{Heya!!!!}}}$

nCH2 = CH2→(-CH2-CH2-)n

Answer 2

nCH2=CH2 (ethene) ------> (-CH2-CH2-) n –this equation marks the process of the polymerisation of ethylene and its substitution.

Here “n” represents the number of times the molecule gets repeated.

It is also referred to as the monomer’s repeating unit.

One more similar example nCH2=CHCl (vinyl chloride) ------> (-CH2-CHCl-) n which signifies the polymerisation of vinyl chloride to form polyvinyl chloride.
