recall the basic principles of addition polymerisation by reference to the functional group in the monomer and the repeating units in the polymer

deduce the structure of an addition polymer from a simple monomer with a double bond and vice versa

explain the basic principles of condensation polymerisation by reference to the functional groups of the monomers, the minimum number of functional groups within a monomer, the number of repeating units in the polymer, and simultaneous formation of a small molecule

Learners are not expected to recall the formulae of dicarboxylic acid, diamine and diol monomers

recall that DNA is a polymer made from four different monomers called nucleotides and that other important naturally-occurring polymers are based on sugars and amino-acids
