Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the lactone from which the given polymer is prepared is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Polymerization is the process in which the small molecules (monomer molecules) get linked together in a chemical reaction to form large chain molecules called polymers.

A polymer may contain one or more than one functional groups in its structure.

Condensation polymerization is the process of formation of polymers in which the polymers are formed by the linkage of monomer molecule with removal of small molecules like water or methanol. It is a step-growth polymerization process.

Lactones are cyclic esters of carboxylic acids that results in the formation of polyesters on polymerization.
