In condensation polymerisation reactions , monomermolecules join together to form large polymermolecules and lose small molecules such as water as by-products
The simplest polymers are formed when diols join together with dicarboxylicacids
Diols are molecules with twohydroxyl (OH) groups
Dicarboxylic acids are molecules with twocarboxyl (COOH) groups
Lots of ethanediol molecules react with lots of hexanedioc acid molecules to form what?
Terylene , a type of polyester
Amino acids join together by condensationpolymerisation to form polypeptides and water
Polypeptide contain lots of peptide links
A peptide link is the bond formed between the carboxyl groups and amino groups when amino acids join togther
Glycine is an aminoacid with the formula H₂NCH₂COOH - It polymerises to form a polypeptide with the formula (- HNCH₂CO -) and nH₂O
Polyesters are made by condensationpolymerisation reactions
