Question

Write the repeat unit of acrilan.

Answer 1

1. Acrilan is a synthetic polymer made from the monomer acrylonitrile.
2. The structure of acrylonitrile is CH₂ = CHCN.
3. It undergoes addition polymerisation to form the polymer.
4. The repeat unit of Acrilan is [- CH₂ - CH(CN) -].
5.  This unit repeats throughout the polymer chain.
