Formations and linkages. What are polymers?. Alkene. molecules have the ability to add onto one another and produce large molecules these are polymers. . Therefore what are monomers?. The process of these large molecules forming is termed addition polymerisation.. Polymers. . C.X.C objectives. Students should be able to :. Define polymers. Distinguish between addition and condensation as reactions in the formation of polymers. Name examples of polymers formed by:. C1.5. What do I need to know?. Recall. how hydrocarbons can be cracked to make smaller more useful molecules.. Describe. some of the properties of alkenes. Explain. how alkenes can be used to synthesise polymers for a wide range of different applications.. C. hemistry and Biology:. . BASF`s Biodegradable . and. R. enewable Polymers. Andreas . Künkel. , Vice President. Biopolymers Research BASF SE. Biopolymers and Bioplastics. San Francisco, USA. , August . What is petroleum?. Also known as crude oil. It is a thick black sludge. It comes from ancient plant and animal life long since buried and kept under extreme pressure for millions of years.. It is composed of countless different organic compounds.. 2. Uses of Organic Molecules. Americans consume an average of 140 pounds of sugar per person per year. Cellulose, found in plant cell walls, is the most abundant organic compound on Earth. 3. Uses of Organic Molecules. Polymers. are long molecules made of repeating units, called . monomers. .. In general. :. Specific example. :. Forces between polymer chains: Crosslinks. Weak: Intermolecular . force crosslinks. Strong: Colvalent. Bellwork. : Please turn in your Meal Breakdown sheets and posters to table 7 marked with your class period. . On the sheet of paper you picked up:. Title: Quiz 2. Name. Period. Date. Number it 1-10. Science Fact of the Day:. 1. What is Biochemistry?. Biochemistry = chemistry of life. . Biochemists use physical and chemical principles to explain biology at the molecular level.. Basic principles of biochemistry are common to all living organism. D 15.  Explain the general formation and structure of carbon-based polymers, including synthetic polymers, such as polyethylene, and biopolymers, such as carbohydrate. . Content Standard . What is a monomer and what is a polymer?. and . MER. means . repeating unit. .. Polymers. are macromolecules formed by joining of repeating structural units on a large scale.. The repeating structural units are called . Monomers. .. Polymerisation. What are polymers. ?. Where can you find polymers in your everyday life?. How are polymers synthesized?. What kinds of polymers can be recycled?. How are polymers recycled?. What are some unique applications for polymers?. UNIT-I. Anil Gattani, Ajeet Kumar. Biochemistry. 2. Biochemistry has become the foundation for understanding all biological . processes. . It has provided explanations for the causes of many diseases in humans, .
