1 / 13 CBSE Class–12 Subject Chemistry NCERT Solutions Chapter – 15 Polymers In-text Question 1. What are polymers? Ans. Polymers are high molecular mass macromolecules, which consist of repeating structural units derived from monomers. Polymers have a high molecular mass (103 - 107 u). In a polymer, various monomer units are joined by strong covalent bonds. These polymers can be natural as well as synthetic. Polythene, rubber, and nylon 6, 6 are examples of polymers. 2. How are polymers classified on the basis of structure? Ans. Polymers are classified on the basis of structure as follows: 1. Linear polymers: These polymers are formed of long and straight chains. These polymers are represented as: For e.g., high density polythene (HDP), polyvinyl chloride, etc. 2. Branched chain polymers: These polymers are basically linear chain having some branches. These polymers are represented as: osbincbse.com OSBINCBSE.COM
