Many repeating, simple subunits are joined together. What is the most likely result?
A student writes the explanation of how one type of compound is formed. These compounds are made by the repeated joining of one smaller unit to the end of a growing chain. The units are generally alkenes, which retain all their atoms in the chain. A compound which undergoes a similar process is polyethylene. Which process is being described?
Which type of reaction does this diagram represent? Expand Image
A student writes the explanation of how certain molecules are formed. A process is used to chemically link smaller units to form a larger molecule that is made up of repeating units. The properties of the larger molecule are determined by the chemical structure and the order or bonding of the smaller units. The student is explaining
