condesation polymers + esters

• esters

  organic molecules that contain the functional group - COO-
• ester reaction

  making an ester is a condensation reaction bc water is produced

  carboxylic acid + alcohol --> ester + water
• functional group

  grp of atoms r responsible for how a molecule reacts
• polyester

  a condensation polymer

  long chains of ester links

  made from dicarboxylic acid monomer + diol monomer reacting
