Double Bond O

I dont thing the second oxygen is double bonded as the diagram suggests. Dengero 10:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's an ester of acetic acid, where you see a similar carbonyl C=O. --Rifleman 82 11:33, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

History?

Smell of Vinyl Acetate

edit

The smell of Vinyl Acetate is "odor of vinyl acetate is thoroughly disagreeable", aside from being opinionated, directly contradicts text from the United State's Center for Disease Control's website text of "sweet, pleasant, fruity smell" [1]

I have updated the article using the reference you supply. Thanks for pointing out the issue. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:18, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

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?
