Write the names of monomers of the
following polymers ;
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(i) Since amide linkage
is
present, it is a polymer of diaminehaving 6 C atom and diacid having 6 C atoms.
(ii) It also contains amide linkage
but with in the same molecule, so itcontains>CO and amine group within a
ring.
(iii) It contains the same monomer and
repeating .unit so it is an additionpolymer of a monomer containing double
bond. Moreover, absence offunctional group also shows the unsaturation.
