Question

What is the structure of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene?

Answer 1

(C8H8·C4H6·C3H3N)n

.........

Answer 2

Answer:

All the monomers of the polymer ABS--->(C8H8.C4H6.C3H3N)n are covalent because they form bonds between only non-metals.

*The n means that this plastic is made of repeating units as it continues on (hence the name polymer).

Here is a diagram:

Acrylonitrile

C3H3N

chemical equation for acrylonitrile is 4C3H6(g) + 6NO(g)-----> 4C3H3N(s) + 6H2O(l) + N2(g)

I believe that it is a synthesis reaction.

Butadiene

C4H6

Styrene

C8H8
