Chapter 12.2, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the substance is to be drawn that would be eliminated if the given molecule is goingto form a condensation polymer.

Concept introduction:

Polymers are molecules with high molecular masses and are made up of repeating monomer units. Polymers are the backbone of four major chemical industries, viz., plastics, elastomers, fibers, and paintsandvarnishes.

On the basis of the mode of polymerization, polymers have been classified into two subgroups, which are addition polymers and condensation polymers.

Polymers that are formed by elimination of small molecules like ${\text{H}}_2\text{O}$ is condensation polymer.
