When a single alkene monomer, such as ethylene, is polymerized, the product is a homopolymer. If a mixture of two alkene monomers is polymerized, however, a copolymer often results. The following structure represents a segment of a copolymer. Draw the structures of the two monomers that were copolymerized to form the copolymer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the structure of the seran segments shows that the arrangement of vinyldene chloride and vinyl chloride units in the polymer are done alternatively during the process of polymerization.

There is the diagram of a structure attached.
