5.2.2.5 Polymers
| Content | Key opportunities for skills development |
|---|---|
Polymers have very large molecules. The atoms in the polymer molecules are linked to other atoms by strong covalent bonds. The intermolecular forces between polymer molecules are relatively strong and so these substances are solids at room temperature. Students should be able to recognise polymers from diagrams showing their bonding and structure. |
