A chemist synthesizes a polymer using only vinyl chloride as the starting material. What classification describes this resulting macromolecule based on monomer type?
Q1. A chemist synthesizes a polymer using only vinyl chloride as the starting material. What classification describes this resulting macromolecule based on monomer type?
Answer: Homopolymer
Explanation: Homopolymers consist of a single type of monomer; copolymers, the most tempting distractor, require at least two different monomer types.
