Question 1

A laboratory tests two compounds as starting materials for a condensation polymer. Their structural formulae are shown below.

CompoundStructural formula
RHO–(CH₂)₄–OH
SHOOC–(CH₂)₂–COOH

Determine the molecular formula of one repeating unit of the polymer formed from R and S.

Explain how the atoms in R and S form the links in the polymer.
