Everything you need to know about polymers! Polymers are large molecules made up of lots of repeating units called monomers. This video covers: how to identify them, how to draw them, and their properties.
If you’d like to practise the material covered in this video, check out our platform at www.cognitoedu.org - it's totally free, and has been built to make learning and revision as easy as possible. The main features are: - Lessons organised by topic, only the lessons relevant to your specific exam board and tier are shown. - Automatic progress tracking.

I'm trying to get higher grades in my chemistry since I just started the GCSE courses and are becoming very difficult, but your simple explanantions are rrly helping me grasp the subject better. Tysm!
Again, another great video. Summarises everything and I’ve learnt 3/4 of my end of year exam that I am meant to sit tomorrow. Keep up with the amazing videos I am so glad to have found you!
Is another reason why a polymers boiling/melting point is higher than that oof simple molecular forces to do with the size of those Inter molecular forces? (as well as how many imf there are )
Hey Cognito You might have noticed me a lot in your comments now, it's a fact that I am using your videos to make my own notes, can you please exaggerate the types of additional and condensation polymers. If not a video, comment would work too. I like your video, great work.
Theres save my exams notes on it. If youre taking IGCSE it’s not a lengthy topic which requires video explanation but in general they are just a compound that’s presented in hydrated salts. If you want to test for water of crystallisation you can use cobalt chloride which turns from blue to pink if hydrated and copper sulphate which is white in anhydrous and light blue in hydrous.
