Worked practice questions
The term polymer comes from which language?
- Latin
- Greek
- Sanskrit
- Arabic
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. Greek
Polymer is formed from the Greek words poly (many) and mer (part).
Which range of molecular mass (in u) is typical of polymers?
- 10 to 100
- 10^2 to 10^3
- 10^3 to 10^7
- 10^10 to 10^12
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 10^3 to 10^7
Polymers are macromolecules with molecular masses between about 10^3 and 10^7 u.
