Give the name of the monomer used to make poly(chloroethene). And describe how monomer molecules form polymer molecules.

  1. Briefly explain the etymology of hydrocarbon names and how polymers are named. The answer is therfore, chloroethene.
    2. Draw a structure for chloroethene and show in diagram how chloroethene polymerises.
    3. Highlight the important steps of the polymerisation process in Step (2) and how they can be written in a word answer in a GCSE level paper * Double bond breaks * Molecules join (this process is NOT a reaction) * To form a long chain
