Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of reaction is used to create polymers from monomers?
A
Condensation
B
Hydrolysis
C
Hydrogenation
D
Digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical reaction in which high molecular mass molecules are formed from monomers is known as polymerization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation polymers are formed by polycondensation, when the polymer is formed by condensation reactions between species of all degrees of polymerization, or by condensative chain polymerization, when the polymer is formed by sequential addition of monomers to an active site in a chain reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration Synthesis The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. In doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water.”

Detailed explanation-4: -What is Condensation Polymerization? It is a form of a step-growth polymerization where smaller molecules or monomers react with each other to form larger structural units (usually polymers) while releasing by-products such as water or methanol molecule.
