ChemistryPolymersGCSEAQA Created by: Jammie lozCreated on: 17-04-14 21:21 what are the molecules called, they join in a link to form a polymer? monomers or as a substitute an alkene. 1 of 6 what happens to the molecule as it joins to form a polymer compound? the double bond is moved to form a link with other monomers. 2 of 6 what are polymers used as? as useful plastics in materials such as waterproof coatings and shopping bags. 3 of 6 what dose it mean by bio-degradable? are most polymers bio-degradable? the material is broken down my microbes but in most polymers it cannot broken down easily by small microbes as they find it hard to digest. 4 of 6 what should we do about this as it becomes a disposal problem? make the materials more biodegradable by adding things like cornstarch and start recycling or reusing the material 5 of 6 state both ways of creating ethanol from an alkene! through hydration in seam in the presence of a catalyst, or through fermentation. sugar--> carbon dioxide + ethanol 6 of 6
