Organic chemistry
Polymers - Giant molecules made up of small molecules ( monomers ) - chemically identical ( similar functional groups )
Man made Polymers - plastic ( largest pollutant ) , nylon , fiber
Naturally occuring -Nucleic acids , proteins , starch , latex , cellulose ( Plants cell wall )

Types of polymers - Condensation - polymer react - water molecules escape - used in living tissue by enzymes
-
-
Positions - Methane , butane , alcohol the numbers usually determine the position in the compound the above hydrocarbons are e.g - butan1ol ( One represents - position of alcohol from the back )
Plastics - Polymers that pollute the environment - how can we stop this ?
A) Recycling
B) Reusing
C) Using plastic wisely and not making single use plastic available
Catalysts - Speed up reactions don't cause change in mass , don't alter products , Can be used over and over again .
