Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The portion of polyamide chain obtained from monomer P-aminobenzoic acid needs to be sketched.

Concept introduction:

A polymer is a long chain consists of large number of monomer units. In a polymer, the monomers are linked to each other in a continuous or repetitive manner. These monomer units are linked to each other either through the formation of peptide linkage, glycosidic linkage or by removal of any moiety such as a water molecule. Polyvinyl chloride, Bakelite and polystyrene are some of the examples of polymers.
