hello
how would i draw a monomer
CH2-CHCH=CH2
I have to draw three monomer units can anyone help
Sure, I can help you with that! To draw a monomer, you need to understand its structure and then replicate it to form multiple units.
In this case, the monomer you're trying to draw is CH2-CHCH=CH2. This represents one unit of a polymer chain.
To draw three monomer units, you would simply repeat this structure three times. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Start by drawing the first monomer unit:
- Draw a carbon atom (C).
- Attach two hydrogen atoms (H) to the first carbon atom (C).
- Connect the first carbon atom (C) to a second carbon atom (C) using a single bond.
- Attach one hydrogen atom (H) to the second carbon atom (C).
- Connect the second carbon atom (C) to a third carbon atom (C) using a single bond.
- Attach one hydrogen atom (H) to the third carbon atom (C).
- Connect the third carbon atom (C) to a fourth carbon atom (C) using a double bond.
- Attach two hydrogen atoms (H) to the fourth carbon atom (C).
2. Repeat this structure two more times, connecting the last carbon atom (C) of one monomer unit to the first carbon atom (C) of the next unit. Remember to maintain the double bond between the fourth and fifth carbon atoms.
So, the final structure with three monomer units would look like this:
CH2-CHCH=CH2-CH2-CHCH=CH2-CH2-CHCH=CH2
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
