Define the term polymerisation

Open in App

Solution

$(N H - C H R - C O)_{n}$ is a homopolymer as it is obtained from a single monomer unit, $N H_{2} - C H R - C O O H$ .

Note: Homopolymers are formed by the polymerisation of a single monomer.

The repeating units of homopolymers are derived only from one monomer.

In copolymers, the repeating units are derived from two types of monomers.
