Addition polymerisation and condensation polymerisation are two types of polymerisation. Which functional group is present in all the monomers which are used to make addition polymers? Part of an addition polymer is shown. C CH3 H C CH3 H C CH3 H C CH3 H C CH3 H C CH3 H How many monomer units are needed to make the part of the addition polymer shown? Draw the structure of the monomer that is used to make this addition polymer. Show all of the atoms and all of the bonds. Name the monomer. name  State the empirical formula of: the monomer the polymer.  Complex carbohydrates are natural condensation polymers. They can be broken down into colourless monomers which can then be separated and identified. X is a complex carbohydrate. Starting with a sample of X, describe how to produce, separate, detect and identify the monomers which make it up. Your answer should include: ● ● the name of the process used to break down X into its monomers ● ● two types of substance that can be used to break down X ● ● the name of the process used to separate the monomers ● ● the method used to detect the monomers after they have been separated ● ● the method used to identify the monomers after they have been separated and detected. Synthetic polyamides are condensation polymers. Name a synthetic polyamide. Synthetic polyamides can be made by reacting carboxylic acids with amines. Name the other substance that is produced in this reaction.
