Chemistry 12-5-24 Polymers

CHEMISTRY: This lecture on polymers finishes the chapter! Did you realize molecules could be that large? And so many of them. But don’t you think polymers are cool? Here’s the lecture for Thursday. Interact with the vodcast! Answer out loud, take notes, make a list of any questions you have.

Some items for contemplation: how does the function of something relate to its structure. For example, why are certain plastics recyclable and others not…and what about dishwasher and microwave safe? Hmmmmm…

HW UPDATE: Don’t forget about the update to HW tonight – turn in tomorrow #35, 38, 39
