Vinyl acetate as a polar monomer
[edit]At en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomer#Classification we read that the monomer vinyl acetate is a polar, as contrasted to a nonpolar, monomer. That article links "vinyl acetate" of course to this article. Would it make sense for this article therefore to mention this fact, namely, that vinyl acetate is a polar monomer? And perhaps, describe that property? Bob Enyart, Denver KGOV radio host (talk) 00:11, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
