The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is a syndiotactic polymer in the structure `[-CH₂-C(YZ)-]n`, we need to understand the definitions of different types of stereochemical arrangements of polymers, specifically syndiotactic, isotactic, and atactic. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Syndiotactic Polymers**: - A syndiotactic polymer is characterized by the alternating arrangement of substituents on either side of the polymer chain. In this case, if we have groups Y and Z, they should alternate in position along the chain. 2. **Identifying Isotactic and Atactic Structures**: - **Isotactic**: In an isotactic polymer, all the substituent groups (Y) are on one side of the polymer chain, while the other groups (Z) are on the opposite side. This creates a regular pattern. - **Atactic**: In an atactic polymer, the arrangement of substituents is random, with no specific order. 3. **Analyzing the Given Structure**: - The structure `[-CH₂-C(YZ)-]n` implies that we have a repeating unit where Y and Z can be positioned in different ways. - For a syndiotactic arrangement, we would expect Y and Z to alternate in their positions along the polymer chain. 4. **Conclusion**: - If the arrangement of Y and Z groups is such that they alternate (e.g., Y on one side, Z on the other, then Z on one side, Y on the other), then this polymer can be classified as syndiotactic. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the arrangement where Y and Z groups alternate on each side of the chain represents a syndiotactic polymer. ### Final Answer: The syndiotactic polymer in the structure `[-CH₂-C(YZ)-]n` is characterized by the alternating arrangement of Y and Z groups on either side of the chain. ---
