Most organic polymers are named based on the monomers used in their production. However, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is not made from vinyl alcohol, but instead from vinyl acetate that is hydrolized after formation of the polymer. Why can't we use vinyl alcohol in this polymerization

Polymerization involves the synthesis of two or more monomers to get a polymer which is usually complex.

Polyvinyl alcohol can’t be used as a monomer(raw material) for polymerization because it is very unstable under normal conditions and will rearrange molecularly to give polyvinyl acetaldehyde.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
