What distinguishes condensation polymerisation from addition polymerisation?

A

Both ends can react, allowing a long chain to form.

B

Two alcohol groups, −OH-\text{OH}−OH.

C

The water released comes from the acid's −OH-\text{\boxed{OH}}−OH​ group and a hydrogen from the alcohol.

D

Condensation polymerisation releases a small molecule, usually water, when each link forms.
