Question

See the figure given below and select the correct statements regarding polymers.
1. Figure (a) shows structure of a monomer while figure (b) shows structure of a polymer
2. Small boxes in the structure represent monomers which are joined to give a polymer
3. Figure (a) shows structure of a linear polymer while (b) shows structure of a cross-linked polymer.

help me

Answer 1

Answer:

2 and 3

Explanation:

Monomers are basic unit for polymers, which are building blocks of protien. Monomers bind to other monomers to form repeating chain molecules through the process of polymerisations. Hence forming polymers.

In linear polymer all carbon-carbon bonds lie in a single straight chain whereas in chained polymer and Cross linked polymer is the process of forming covalent bonds to join two polymers together.
