Picture the synthesis of a polymer formed from the following monomers. Each monomer contains 2 carbon (C) atoms, 6 hydrogen (H) atoms, and 1 oxygen (O) atom; each monomer has the formula C2H6O. What is the formula of the molecule formed after connecting three of these monomers?

Explanation:

A monomer is defined as the smallest unit that is present in a polymer.

As it is given that chemical formula of monomer is [tex]C_{2}H_{6}O[/tex]. So, when three units of these monomers combine together then it will be [tex]3C_{2}H_{6}O[/tex].

Hence, upon combination of three monomer units of [tex]C_{2}H_{6}O[/tex], the chemical formula of the molecule formed after connecting three of these monomers is [tex]C_{6}H_{18}O_{3}[/tex]
