Define a polymer

-Polymers, large molecule made by linking small repeating units known as monomers.

What are the two classes of Polymers

Natural and Synthetic

How do we find the mean mass of each chain, what problem does this method run into

Multiple chains may have the same Mn but different compositions

How can find dispersity of the chains

Mw/Mn = Dispersity

The closer dispersity is to 1, the closer to a perfect polymer it is where all chains are the same.
