The correct Answer is:
To identify the type of polymers given in the question, we will analyze each polymer structure step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first polymer structure The first polymer is represented as `-A -A -A -A -A -A-`. 1. **Identify the monomeric units**: - In this structure, we can see that the repeating unit is `A`. - There are no other types of monomeric units present. 2. **Determine the type of polymer**: - Since the polymer consists of only one type of monomeric unit (A), it is classified as a **homopolymer**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second polymer structure The second polymer is represented as `-A -B -B -A -A -A -B -A-`. 1. **Identify the monomeric units**: - In this structure, we can observe two different types of monomeric units: `A` and `B`. - The polymer consists of both `A` and `B` repeating units. 2. **Determine the type of polymer**: - Since this polymer contains two different monomeric units (A and B), it is classified as a **copolymer**. ### Final Conclusion - The first polymer is a **homopolymer**. - The second polymer is a **copolymer**. ### Summary of the Solution 1. The first polymer `-A -A -A -A -A -A-` is a **homopolymer**. 2. The second polymer `-A -B -B -A -A -A -B -A-` is a **copolymer**.
