IB Chemistry 2.4.6 (HL) Condensation polymers Questions
Practise spotting condensation polymers, then deducing monomers or drawing one correct repeating unit with the ester or amide link and continuation bonds.
How this is tested
- deduce the two monomers for nylon 6,6 from a polyamide chain, including diacid or diacyl chloride forms
- draw one repeat unit of a polyester or Kevlar with the correct ester or amide link and continuation bonds
- distinguish condensation from addition polymerization by monomers with two functional groups and a small by-product
