Question 49

Two reactions, R and S, each make one polymer chain. Each reaction is either addition polymerisation or condensation polymerisation.

The table shows the total numbers of atoms in all the monomer molecules before the reaction and in the polymer chain after the reaction. Any atoms not present in the polymer are in one other product.
