Differentiate between the 2 polymers. Learning Target Checkpoint Polymer Chemistry Polymer Synthesis Addition Polymerization(Polyaddition) Reactions in which monomers combine without the formation of a small molecule. Usually involves the breaking of a double bond. Condensation Polymerization(Polycondensation) Reactions in which small molecules (such as H2O, and HCl) are formed when the monomers combine. Polymerization Video Learning Target Checkpoint How do you differentiate between condensation polymerization and addition polymerization? Polymer Chemistry Polymer Characteristics and Classifications Ms. Mandel Honors Physical Science D15 Explain the general formation and structure of carbon-based polymers, including synthetic polymers, such as polyethylene, and biopolymers, such as carbohydrate. D16 Explain how simple chemical monomers can be combined to create linear, branched and/or cross-linked polymers. D17 Explain how the chemical structure of polymers affects their physical properties. Learning Targets I can explain how the structure of a polymer affects its properties. I can differentiate between thermoset and thermoplastic polymers. I can explain how polymers are synthesized. Polymers What is a Monomer? The individual units that join together to form a polymer. What is a Polymer? A very long molecule composed of repeating units connected by covalent bonds. Characterizing a Polymer Structure Classification Synthesis Structure of a Polymer Skeletal Structure Chemical Structure Skeletal Structure Linear A straight chain with two ends Linear Structure What properties might a linear structure produce? Short and long chains Long molecules can get tangled up in each other and stick together better Long molecules are harder and have higher melting points Short chains pass over each other easily and are softer and “squishy” No side chains means it has a higher density because more molecules can pack into the same amount of space The molecules ca
