Compound H has the structural formula CH2=CHCH(NH2)COOH. Name all the functional groups in H.

1. (a)(i)Compound H has the structural formula CH2=CHCH(NH2)COOH. Name all the functional groups in H.[2]
2. (a)(ii)Compound H exhibits stereoisomerism. Draw three-dimensional structures for the two stereoisomers of H. Name this type of stereoisomerism.[2]
3. (b)(i)Compound H can be prepared from the reaction of J with an excess of hot aqueous acid. [Figure 6.1] Complete Fig. 6.2 to show the equation for this reaction. [Figure 6.2][1]
4. (b)(ii)Name the type of reaction in (b)(i).[1]
5. (c)(i)Polymers consist of monomers joined together by undergoing either addition or condensation polymerisation. Compound H can react to form an addition polymer, K, or a condensation polymer, L, depending on the conditions. Draw one repeat unit of addition polymer K.[1]
6. (c)(ii)Draw two repeat units of condensation polymer L. The new functional group formed should be displayed.[2]
7. (c)(iii)Explain why condensation polymers can normally biodegrade more readily than addition polymers.[1]
