Polymers
• A polymer is a large molecule with simple repeating units.
• The simple repeating units are called monomers.• Polymer formulas are described with the formula
for the monomer in parentheses with an n as a subscript to indicate some large integer number. The n varies even for a sample of the same polymer.

Natural and Synthetic Polymers
• Natural polymers include– Starches with glucose monomers– Proteins with amino acid monomers
• Synthetic polymers are produced bychemists. Examples include, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, poly(vinyl chloride), polypropylene, and polystyrene.

Condensation Polymers
• Condensation polymers are polymers that are formed by condensation reactions in which two molecules are joined and a small molecule, such as water, is released.

Addition Polymers
• Addition polymers are made from molecules that have the following general formula.

High- and Low-Density Polyethylene
• If polyethylene is made under conditions that lead to mostly unbranched chains, the chains are able to pack together tightly forming high-density polyethylene, which is described by the acronym HDPE or sometimes PE-HD.
• If the polyethylene is made in a way that encourages branches, the molecules do not pack together as tightly, forming low-density polyethylene, which is described by the acronym LDPE or sometimes PE-LD.
