marking scheme says- explanation-
H Cl line at 36 has rel. abundance of 90 (1) read off from the graph,
38 30
These show Cl and Cl in ratio 3:1 (1) we get simplest ratio
[or use of 35 and 37]
Mean of the two isotopes 3 x 35 + 1 x 37 = 35.5 (1) exactly same as my working but whole fraction has been divided by 25(just simplification doent matter

I have a doubt concerning polymers. When drawing structures of polymers with more than two carbon atoms, is it necessary to include only two carbon atoms in the main chain and the rest as side chain? Here's is an example:

Question no. 5(a).. please check what the marking scheme has done.
Thanks


No it's not necessary.

You can have polymer like this as well...

-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C- as well.. but that would get cluttery.. and won't even fit in the page.. hence why one would branch them..

-CH2-CH(C4H9)- CH2-CH(C4H9)- CH2-CH(C4H9)- something of that sort would be appropriate over here...
