Always an alkene 1 of 6 Polymer A chain of thousands of monomers - they are extremely large 2 of 6 Finding the name of a monomer Add poly- to the front of the monomer name 3 of 6 Carbon bonds in monomer vs polymer In a monomer there a double carbon bond whilst in the polymer there are single carbon-carbon bonds 4 of 6 Bonding in polymers Strong single covalent bonds between carbon molecules 5 of 6 Polymers at room temperature They are solids as there are strong inter-molecular forces of attraction between polymer molecules so they need lots of energy to break them 6 of 6
