Draw short segments of the
(a)
Interpretation:
The short segment of polymer obtained from the given monomer has to be drawn and also have to indicate whether it is a chain growth or step growth polymer.
Answer to Problem 24P
The short segment of given monomer is shown below and the monomer undergoes chain growth polymerization.
Explanation of Solution
Given the monomer is
The short segment of polymer obtained from this monomer is given below.
The polymer formed is a Chain growth polymer because monomer addition occurs at the end of the chain.
(b)
Interpretation:
The short segment of polymer obtained from the given monomer has to be drawn and also have to indicate whether it is a chain growth or step growth polymer.
Answer to Problem 24P
The short segment of given monomer is shown below and the monomer undergoes chain growth polymerization.
Explanation of Solution

The short segment of polymer obtained from this monomer is given below.
The polymer formed is a Chain growth polymer because monomer addition occurs at the end of the chain.
(c)
Interpretation:
The short segment of polymer obtained from the given monomer has to be drawn and also have to indicate whether it is a chain growth or step growth polymer.
Answer to Problem 24P
The short segment of given monomer is shown below and the monomer undergoes step growth polymerization.
Explanation of Solution
Given the monomer is
The short segment of polymer obtained from this monomer is given below.
The polymer formed is a Step growth polymer because monomer addition occurs not at the end of the chain and these polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.
(d)
Interpretation:
The short segment of polymer obtained from the given monomer has to be drawn and also have to indicate whether it is a chain growth or step growth polymer.
Answer to Problem 24P
The short segment of given monomer is shown below and the monomer undergoes step growth polymerization.
Explanation of Solution

The short segment of polymer obtained from this monomer is given below.
The polymer formed is a step growth polymer because monomer addition occurs not at the end of the chain and these polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.
(e)
Interpretation:
The short segment of polymer obtained from the given monomer has to be drawn and also have to indicate whether it is a chain growth or step growth polymer.
Answer to Problem 24P
The short segment of given monomer is shown below and the monomer undergoes step growth polymerization.
Explanation of Solution
Polymers are formed from linking small units called monomers and they are classified into Chain growth polymers and Step growth polymers.
Given the monomer is
The short segment of polymer obtained from this monomer is given below.
The polymer formed is a Step growth polymer because monomer addition occurs not at the end of the chain and these polymers are formed by combining monomers by removing small molecules of water or alcohol.
