Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main monomer used to produce polystyrene? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand what a monomer is. A monomer is a small molecule that can join together to form a larger molecule called a polymer.
  • Step 2: Identify the specific monomer used for polystyrene. The main monomer for polystyrene is called styrene.
  • Step 3: Learn about the process of polymerization. Polymerization is the process where many styrene monomers link together to form polystyrene.
  • Step 4: Conclude that polystyrene is made by linking together styrene monomers through polymerization.
