Question

Monomers are converted to polymer by

(a) hydrolysis of monomers

(b) condensation reaction between monomers

(c) protonation of Monomers

(d) None of the above

Answer 1

Correct Option (b) condensation reaction between monomers

Explanation:

Condensation is the process of aggregation of more than one molecule without loosing any atom or group (sometimes smaller group or atomes H₂O, R-OH etc are released). 

nCH₂ = CH₂ → -CH₂ - (CH₂-CH₂)-CH₂-
