From monomers to polymers

From monomers to polymers

Many useful materials are made by joining lots of small molecules into very long chains. A monomer is the small molecule, and the long molecule formed is a polymer.

Polymers Lesson

  1. IGCSE
  2. /Chemistry
  3. /Polymers

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Chemistry Polymers for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended), plus Paper 5 or Paper 6 format. Build a solid grasp of atomic structure, bonding and the mole concept early, since these underpin almost every other topic, then move on to the more calculation-heavy quantitative and organic chemistry content.
