Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether `(CH₂-CH₂)ₙ` (polyethylene) is a homopolymer or a copolymer, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure The given structure `(CH₂-CH₂)ₙ` represents the repeating unit of polyethylene, which is derived from the monomer ethylene (C₂H₄). ### Step 2: Identify the Type of Polymerization Polyethylene is formed through a process known as addition polymerization. In this process, monomers with double bonds (like ethylene) react to form a long chain polymer. ...
