Title: Polymers and valence electrons NEED HELP PLZ!!!
Post by: Omenbreed898 on May 31, 2009, 01:26:09 pm
Can you plz tell me the important polymers that we have to know
like starch nylon teryll....etc   !!  with diagrams plz  !!
and can u explain what they want when they tell us to draw when they give us the valances 2+8...

Like in addition polymerisation, they'll give you monomers and tell u to find polymers so you have to cut out the double bond and if they ask monomer from polymer add the double bond. for condensation polymerisation, starch, glucose.... is to be studied.

Valencies- They give u the electronic structure of the element that helps in drawing BONDING

Plz +rep if it helped !!! ::)

Ya if you can show us an example of the valency thingy then that would help
Thanks

the problem is wen ure abt to post ur ques..there are olready five posts dat r put up
so if u wnt ur thing don't u gt to repeat urslf agn n agn
n diz iz a clear place for ur ans ..it can b later deleted by the admin..
itz juz today dat wer're doin this,i know itz creating problems bt im gona be selfish :P
cuz i truly truly suck at chemi..!!!

visit http://www.docbrown.info/page01/ElCpdMix/EleCmdMix.htm for bonding

and http://www.docbrown.info/page04/OilProducts/ExtraOrganic.htm for organic chemistry

great notes......docbrown's clinic is awesome

eg- 2,8,8,2 so 2 is the outer electron and it needs 6 more to become stable

now they'll give you another element 2,6 to make it stable.

The nos. may vary so you can take 3 or 2 structures of an element and this will help to deduce formula !!

Same for covalent bonding

+rep if it helped !!
