Each pre-class Podia question is based on the pre-class material and working through the pre-class material will help you formulate your response. Consider the problem and write down/draw out your solution in your class notebook. These questions are designed to hone your skills so that you can analyze and solve mastery problems you will encounter throughout the course.
Two days before the next whole-class session, the pre-class Podia question will become visible in Podia, where you can click on the prompt and submit your answer.
Submissions for pre-class Podia activities are due 1 hour before the start of your whole-class. Be sure to submit your response before the due time.
Day 16 Pre-Class Podia Activity
The repeating unit of nylon-6,10 has the structure as shown below.
- Is this likely to be an addition polymer or a condensation polymer? Briefly justify your response.
- Depending on the orientation of adjacent polymer strands, intermolecular forces between nylon-6,10 strands might be stronger or weaker. Draw structures of two additional nylon-6,10 repeating units, one above and one below the structure given. Orient the structures you draw to maximize intermolecular forces.
