You have been given two polymer samples, labeled polyA and polyB, recently prepared for the first time. One of them is known to be a conjugated polymer whereas the other is not. (a) Describe 4 different concrete ways you would establish polyA or polyB to be the conjugated polymer. (b) How would you experimentally determine if the conjugated polymer sample has a degenerate or nondegenerate ground state?
