How to Calculate Number of Atoms in Oligomer Molecule
In chemistry and biochemistry, an oligomer is a molecule that consists of a few similar or identical repeating units which could be derived, actually or conceptually, from copies of a smaller molecule, its monomer. The name is composed from Greek elements oligo-, "a few" and -mer, "parts".
Problem:
The molecular formula for glycine is C2H5O2N. What would be the molecular formula for a linear oligomer made by linking ten glycine molecules together by condensation synthesis?
A) C20H50020N10
B) C20H32011N10 *
C) C20H40010N10
C) C20H68029N10
D) None of the above
