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: -Condensation polymerization (also known as step-growth) requires that the monomers possess two or more kinds of functional groups that are able to react with each other in such a way that parts of these groups combine to form a small molecule (often H2O) which is eliminated from the two pieces.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The by-products are normally referred to as condensate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synthetic polymers are produced by chemical reactions, termed “polymerizations.” Polymerizations occur in varied forms–far too many to examine here–but such reactions consist of the repetitive chemical bonding of individual molecules, or monomers.
