A hydrocarbon has a molecular formula C₅H₁₂. The equation shows the reaction: C₅H₁₂ → C₃H₆ + C₂H₆. C₃H₆ undergoes addition polymerisation to form a macromolecule X.

  1. aWhat type of reaction is shown by the equation? [1]
  2. bName two structural isomers of C₅H₁₂ (draw them on paper). [2]
  3. cName the macromolecule X. [1]
  4. dDescribe the structure of the macromolecule (draw it on paper). [2]
  5. eGive one problem caused by the commercial use of the macromolecule. Explain your answer. [2]

You'll mark your own answer against the marking guide when you hand it in.
