P is a polymer that: • has six carbon atoms in each of the monomers from which it is formed • is not a polyester • is formed using condensation polymerisation. What is the partial structure of P?
This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
APartial structure showing repeating units connected by ester linkages, with -(CH2)4- and -(CH2)6- hydrocarbon chains.
BPartial structure showing repeating units connected by amide linkages, with -(CH2)6- and -(CH2)6- hydrocarbon chains, where each nitrogen atom has one hydrogen atom.
CPartial structure showing repeating units connected by amide linkages, with -(CH2)4- and -(CH2)6- hydrocarbon chains, where each nitrogen atom has one hydrogen atom.
DPartial structure showing a long carbon chain with methyl and propyl branches, connected by single bonds.
✓ Correct answer
C: Partial structure showing repeating units connected by amide linkages, with -(CH2)4- and -(CH2)6- hydrocarbon chains, where each nitrogen atom has one hydrogen atom.
