Question #481a7

1 Answer

Nov 4, 2015

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

When the polymer forms from the monomers, the reaction will occur by breaking the $C = C$ $C=C$ double bonds to form new $C - C$ $C-C$ single bonds.

Therefore, all the $C$ $C$ atoms in the polymer backbone are $s p^{3}$ $sp^3$ hybridized and the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.

Therefore, the $C - C - C$ $C-C-C$ bonds angle is ${109.5}^{\circ}$ $109.5^@$ through the entire polymer's backbone.
