Answer

a.

b.

Step by step solution

01

Polymers and Copolymers

Polymer constitutes a huge molecule comprising several structural units linked by covalent bonds. A polymer created from more than one monomer is a copolymer.

02

Monomer used to prepare the polymer or copolymer

a.The skeletal structure of the polymer molecule can be given as:

Skeletal structure of the polymer

The repeating units of the molecule can be given as:

Repeating units of the molecule

The monomer units of the polymer can be given as:

Monomer units of polymer a

b. The skeletal structure of the polymer molecule can be given as:

Skeletal structure of compound b

The repeating units in the molecule can be given as:

Repeating units of compound b

The monomer units of the polymer can be given as:
