Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.125QP
A gecko’s toes have been shown to stick to walls through van der Waals forces. Van der Waals forces also exist between your finger and a wall. Why, then, doesn’t your finger stick to the wall in the same way as the gecko’s toes?

Condensation polymers are produced when monomers containing two different functional groups link together with the loss of a small molecule such as H2O.
The difunctional monomer H2N(CH2)6COOH forms a condensation polymer. Draw the carbon-skeleton structure of the dimer that forms from this monomer.
What is the structure of the monomer?
