Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The polymer chain units and the condensation reaction for the polymer formation should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Monomer: A molecule that can be bonded to other repeated subunits to form a polymer.

Polymer: A polymer is a huge molecule, composed by other identical molecules.

Condensation reactions: Two or more molecules reacts forms a new product with the elimination of a small molecule like water.

Condensation polymers: molecules react with two different functional groups forms a new product with the elimination of a small molecule like water.
