    Write the monomer of the polymer
    You can see in the picture two polymers A and B.

    I tried to write the monomer for A I am not sure if is correct and I need help to write the monomer for B.

    Hope you understand what I mean :).


    Thanks.

    Your first monomer is correct: it is chloroethene aka vinyl chloride. The polymer is the very common PVC: polyvinylchloride.
    Your second polymer would be polyallyl acetate. The monomer would be allyl acetate: CH3COOCH2CH=CH2. This is not a common polymer; I wonder if you wanted to show polyvinyl acetate; it would look like the first polymer but instead of pendant -Cl groups you would have pendant -OCOCH3 groups rather than the -CH2OCOCH3 groups you have shown.
    Do you see how to find the monomer?
