How to polymers work?

A polymer is any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, which are multiples of simpler chemical units.  Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms and are the basis of many minerals.

Explanation:

The first man-made polymers were actually modified versions of these natural polymers. Celluloid, the stuff from which silent-movie film was made, was a plastic created from chemically modified cellulose. The first completely synthetic polymer (that is, made by people through chemical synthesis), invented in the early years of the twentieth century, was Bakelite: a plastic made by reacting phenol and formaldehyde under pressure at high temperatures.

# be careful #

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
