IGCSE / O-Level Organic Chemistry – Plastics & Polymers Made Easy (2026)
Plastics and polymers dominate modern life — from mobile phones in Karachi to medical syringes in hospitals, from Android 17 covers to Apple iPhone 18 components. In chemistry exams like O Level 5070, IGCSE 0620, Edexcel and AQA, organic chemistry polymers is a guaranteed high-mark topic.
Yet most students waste hundreds of hours watching random YouTube videos — just like following albacete vs real madrid, chelsea vs arsenal, or Pakistan cricket — instead of using **exam-aligned material** that actually improves grades.

What Are Polymers in Organic Chemistry?
A polymer is a very large organic molecule formed by linking many small molecules called monomers. This process is called organic chemistry polymerisation.
Exam-centered definition:
A polymer is a long-chain organic compound formed when many monomers chemically join together.
Examples of organic polymers:
- Polyethene – plastic bags
- Polypropene – food containers
- PVC – pipes
- Nylon – clothes
- Proteins – hair, muscles (biopolymers)
Why Polymers Matter in Exams (2026 Syllabus)
In IGCSE Chemistry 0620 syllabus 2026 and O Level Chemistry 5070, polymer questions appear in:
- Paper 2 MCQs
- Paper 4 Theory
- Paper 6 Alternative to Practical

---Polymerisation (Exam Focus)
There are two types of organic chemistry polymerization:
- Addition polymerization – alkene monomers join without losing atoms (e.g. ethene → polyethene)
- Condensation polymerization – small molecules (water) are removed (e.g. nylon, proteins)

---Mole Concept – The Backbone of Polymer Calculations
Without the mole concept, you cannot calculate:
- Mass of polymer produced
- Number of monomers used
- Percentage yield

⭐⭐ Student Reviews
❓ FAQs
Is polymer chemistry organic?
Yes. Polymers like plastics, nylon and rubber are organic compounds.
Are polymers part of O Level & IGCSE Chemistry?
Yes. They are tested in Organic Chemistry in both 5070 and 0620.
Can I rely on YouTube alone?
No. YouTube is like watching cricket or football — entertainment, not exam-aligned learning.
