Drpsg polymerisation
What is a polymer?• A polymer is a long chain molecule that is formed from
small molecules linking together.
• poly = many
• Polymers are made from monomers.
monomer polymer
How are polymers made?
• Polymers are made from alkenes.
• (Remember, one of the products from cracking crude oil is alkenes)

Naming
•Put “poly” in front of the monomer name.
Formula
•Draw the monomer WITHOUT the double bond.
•Draw bonds out to the sides and put in brackets.
•Put an “n” in subscript after.

Properties of Polymers• The properties of polymers depends on what monomers
are used.• Scientists can make new polymers with specific
properties. • Usually polymers are stretchy and can be moulded.• Plastics are a type of polymer.
Problems with polymers• Polymers are very useful materials.
• However, they are not biodegradable.
• This means that polymers do not break down.
• Plastic waste can remain in landfills for hundreds of years!
HW: Extended Writing
• Describe what a polymer is and how polymers are formed. Draw an example of a polymer and describe why they are so useful.
