What type of structure do most synthetic polymers have?

Step 1: Understand that synthetic polymers are man-made materials.
Step 2: Learn that synthetic polymers are made up of long chains of repeating units called monomers.
Step 3: Identify the three main types of structures that synthetic polymers can have: linear, branched, and cross-linked.
Step 4: Linear structures have long, straight chains of monomers.
Step 5: Branched structures have chains with side branches coming off the main chain.
Step 6: Cross-linked structures have chains that are connected to each other at various points, creating a network.
Step 7: Recognize that the type of structure depends on how the polymer is made (synthesis).
