The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the polymer PMMA, we will break it down into two parts: identifying what PMMA is used for and determining its monomer. ### Step 1: Identify the polymer PMMA PMMA stands for Polymethyl methacrylate. It is a synthetic polymer that is known for its clarity, strength, and resistance to UV light. ### Step 2: Determine the uses of PMMA PMMA is commonly used for making various products, including: - Eye lenses (such as those used in glasses) - Skylights and domes - Displays and signage - Various types of optical applications ### Step 3: Identify the monomer of PMMA The monomer of PMMA is methyl methacrylate. Its chemical structure can be represented as: - C₄H₈O₂ - It has a double bond between carbon atoms and is characterized by the functional group of an ester. ### Final Answer PMMA is used for making eye lenses and its monomer is methyl methacrylate. ---
