Question 21

A textile laboratory analyses two polymer fibres, P and Q. Each fibre is either an addition polymer or a condensation polymer.

The table compares the atoms in the monomer molecule or molecules needed for one repeating unit with the atoms in that repeating unit.

Polymer fibreAtoms in the monomer molecule or moleculesAtoms in one repeating unit
P4 carbon, 8 hydrogen4 carbon, 8 hydrogen
Q9 carbon, 18 hydrogen, 6 oxygen9 carbon, 14 hydrogen, 4 oxygen

Describe how the results identify the condensation polymer.
