7.3.2 Condensation polymerisation (HT only)

Card 1 of 20

Why must each monomer in condensation polymerisation have two functional groups?

A

A condensation reaction joins molecules while releasing a small molecule, usually water.

B

Two hydroxyl groups, one at each end.

C

Two functional groups let each monomer react at two places, allowing repeated joining into a long chain.

D

Condensation reactions repeat, forming links and releasing many water molecules.
