Saran, the polymer used to make saran wrap, is an addition polymer formed from two monomers-vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride. Draw the structure of the polymer. (Hint: The monomers alternate.)
Added by Catherine J.
Step 1
First, we need to draw the structure of the two monomers, vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride. Vinylidene chloride: \(\displaystyle{ \mathrm{CH_2=CCl_2} }\) Vinyl chloride: \(\displaystyle{ \mathrm{CH_2=CHCl} }\) Show more…
