Question
Draw a structural formula for each of three possible repeating units of poly(vinyl chloride).
Step 1
This gives us chloroethene, which is the monomer for PVC. The structure of PVC is vinyl-like, meaning that there is one carbon atom separating the two chlorine atoms. The vinyl position is adjacent to the carbon with the chlorine atom. So, we only have one Show more…
