Hmm, I wonder which will react faster. I think it might be the monomer because the polymer is more complex. I really have to thank Mr. B he's such a good teacher who has taught me so much
THE END
Addition Polymerization
POLYMERIZATION
Haha, Don't make me laugh, it really becomes simple once you see an example. If you look at the board you can see polyethene. It is simply made of multiple ethenes where the double bond breaks as carbon-carbon bonds are formed. Ethene is an alkene with the formulaC2H4but interstingly enough polyethene is actually an alkane because all the double bonds are broken and the molecule becomes saturated
Condensation Polymerization
What are the uses of something like polyethene?
Addition Polymerization
POLYMERIZATION
Polyethene is a key component in plastic bags, bottles, and packaging. Polymers as you've learned by now are very useful and I'm glad I could fuel your curiosity. Tomorrow we will be conducting an experiment using starch and glucose for fermentation seeing which one reacts faster, the polymer or monomer. Your homework is to come up with a hypothesis, so good luck.

Thank you so much sir, my interest in these topics continues to increase thanks to you
