Chemistry 7.3.2 Flashcards
When are Condensation Polymers Formed?
When 2 Different Monomers are Linked Together Through the Removal of a Small Water Molecule, usually Water.
What is a key Difference between Addition Polymerisation & Condensation Polymerisation?
Addition Polymerisation Forms the Polymer Molecules only. Condensation Polymerisation, however, Forms the Polymer Molecule & 1 Water Molecule per Linkage.
The Monomers in Condensation Polymerisation have ___ Functional Groups. Where are they Located?
2, One at Each End.
What happens when the Functional Group at the Ends of 1 Monomer React with the Functional Group on the End of the other Monomer?
A Long Chain is Created of Alternating Monomers, Forming the Polymer.
What is Formed from 2 Different Monomers & Produce Water?
Polyesters.
Each ___ Group Reacts with another ___ Group on another Monomer.
-COOH, -OH.
An Ester Linkage is Formed with the Subsequent loss of 1 ___ ___ per Link.
Water Molecule
