Draw a short segment of branched polystyrene.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Branched polystyrene can be drawn by replacing H from the middle of the ring to get long chain polymers

Branched polystyrene structure

Step by step solution

01

Polystyrene polymer

Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer derived from the monomer styrene. Since only one monomer is used for this addition polymerization styrene is known as homopolymer.

02

Structure of branched polystyrene

Branched polystyrene can be grown off from the middle of chain by replacing the hydrogen. This site is called propagation site.

Branched polystyrene structure

Thus, a segment of branched polystyrene is drawn above
