Select the correct answer. A scientist discovers a new type of polymer. What must be true about this polymer?

A.
It contains carbon atoms arranged in a ring structure.
B.
It has double bonds between all the carbon atoms.
C.
It contains molecules of many different types.
D.
It is made of large molecules with repeating units.

Explanation:

The correct answer is D

a polymer is a substance made up of large molecules with repeating sub units called monomers.

A is incorrect because its a ring structure which means it cannot form the long chain that is exhibited by polymers.

B is incorrect because the double bonds will cause saturation, hence no monomer can bond to another monomer to form the large molecule.

C is incorrect because the large molecule has repeating sub-units hence only specific types of molecules can be present, and it is usually carbon and hydrogen.
