Question
a student writes the following 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 elimination hydrohalogenation polymerization substitution.
Polymerization is the process where smaller units (monomers) are chemically linked to form a larger molecule (polymer) with repeating units. The properties of the polymer depend on the chemical structure and bonding order of the monomers. Elimination involves removal of a small molecule, hydrohalogenation adds a hydrogen - halogen to an unsaturated compound, and substitution replaces one atom or group with another.
