Explanation:
Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.
There are two kinds of polymers;
-Addition polymers
-Condensation polymers
Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.
Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.
The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.
In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.
In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.
Answer:
B. Chemical changes produce new substances; physical changes do not.
Explanation:
Physical changes only alter appearances, while chemical changes are interactions that create new chemical formulas.
Oxygen
For metals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the period table from top to bottom, and left to right. In contrast, for nonmetals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the periodic table, as we move from bottom to the top, and right to left.
Group 16 on the periodic table is also called the oxygen family or chalcogens. It includes the following elements from top to bottom: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. Of these, only Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are nonmetals. Since reactivity of nonmetals increases going up the periodic table, oxygen is therefore the most reactive nonmetal in the group. Shown in the figure below is the reactivity trend in the periodic table.
Answer:
The atomic mass of an element is the average mass of the atoms of an element measured in atomic mass unit (amu, also known as daltons, D). The atomic mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of that element, in which the mass of each isotope is multiplied by the abundance of that particular isotope. (Atomic mass is also referred to as atomic weight, but the term "mass" is more accurate.)
Tungsten, also known as wolfram element with letter W and atomic number 74.
