Polymers Carbon-based compounds Polymers Carbon-based compounds INFER: How does JELLO (a carbon-based compound) become a solid? How does your body produce hair, muscle and skin? How can they make a solid plastic out of liquid petroleum, or rubber out of liquid sap? MOLECULES OF LIFE POLYMERS Carbon atoms can bond to one another in chains to form a variety of structures, including fossil fuels such as coal, synthetic polymers such as plastics, and the large molecules of life, such as proteins and lipids. Carbon Polymers - Journal Define “polymer”. Define “monomer”. Name the 3 main types of polymers and give an example of each Draw the structural formula for the monomer “ethylene” and part of the structural formula for the polymer “polyethylene” Define polymerization What is a “Catalyst”? (use your resources) Polymers Polymerization: When carbon molecules combine into long chains. HOW: This happens when a carbon to carbon double bond in a monomer is broken and new single bonds are formed creating a polymer. Polymers Polymerization of polypropylene (propene). Polymers Polymerization: (of polyethylene) Polymers Polymerization: (of nylon) Polymers Living organisms form biopolymers such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids through polymerization. Polymers: Proteins Polymerization of a protein: putting simple monomers together. Polymers: Proteins Polymerization of a protein: putting simple monomers together. Where will the monomers JOIN TOGETHER? Polymers: Proteins Polymerization of a protein: putting simple monomers together. Where will the monomers JOIN TOGETHER? Polymers: Proteins Polymerization of a protein: putting simple monomers together. Water drops out to allow the bonds to form. Polymers: Proteins Polymerization of a protein: putting simple monomers together. Polymers NOT ALL REACTIONS CAN GO BY THEMSELVES. Catalyst: A chemical substance that STARTS or INCREASES the rate of a reaction without being used in the polymer. Polymers
