What type of intermolecular interactions does zinc polyacryl
What type of intermolecular interactions does zinc polyacrylate have?
Solution
As we know that zinc polyacrylate contains COO- (carboxylate ion group ) and Zn2+ ions
therefore
type of intermolecular interactions will be -
1) ionic interanction between Zn2+ ion and R-COO- ion which can lead to complex fomation as COO- group can act as chelating agent
2) non-polar interaction between side groups present in the polymer chain ( eak van der walls forces).
