Backbone structure controls biodegradability

Backbone structure controls biodegradability

A polymer is a very large molecule made from repeating monomer units. For disposal questions, the key idea is whether the polymer backbone contains a bond that water or enzymes can break.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Biodegradability and disposal of polymers (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
