Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the repeating unit of polystyrene? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that polystyrene is a type of plastic made from a smaller unit called a monomer.
  • Step 2: Identify the monomer for polystyrene, which is called styrene.
  • Step 3: Recognize the chemical structure of styrene, which is -CH=CH2-.
  • Step 4: Realize that when many styrene monomers join together, they form the repeating unit of polystyrene.
