Detailed explanation-1: -A condensation reaction is a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a single molecule. A small molecule, often water, is usually removed during a condensation reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water molecules in the vapor form are arranged more randomly than in liquid water. As condensation occurs and liquid water forms from the vapor, the water molecules become more organized, and heat is released into the atmosphere as a result.

Detailed explanation-3: -This class of reactions is a vital part of life as it is essential to the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids and to the biosynthesis of fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Products of condensation reactions include ethers, acetals, esters, imines, and amides. We now consider condensation reactions that yield polymers. Two functional groups are required in a monomer so that after one functional group reacts, the other is available to link to another monomer.

Detailed explanation-5: -A condensation reaction is also known as a dehydration reaction. This type of reaction forms an addition product and water in the presence of a catalyst or under acidic or basic conditions. The opposite of a condensation reaction is a hydrolysis reaction.
