    The document provides questions about polymers for students to answer independently. It includes questions about the source of chemicals used to make polymers, the small molecules that join to form polymers, the factors that determine polymer properties, common polymer properties, uses of poly(ethene) and poly(propene), and properties of PVC that make it suitable for water pipes. It also asks about the conditions for forming low density and high density poly(ethene), how their polymer chains are arranged, the type of polymer bond in thermosetting and thermosoftening polymers, what is present between thermosoftening polymer chains, why thermosetting polymers are used for saucepan handles, and what happens if thermosetting polymers are heated to very
