Question 20
H

A student writes that the repeating unit of a condensation polymer contains the same atoms as its monomers. Why is this statement wrong?

[1]
A

Atoms are lost from the monomers as small molecules are formed

B

Atoms are gained by the monomers as the polymer chain grows

C

The monomers rearrange so that the repeating unit is different

D

The repeating unit contains only one of the two monomers used
