Interpretation: The structure for the substance which being eliminated when the given molecule forms
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
Based on the techniques involved polymers are classified as addition and condensation polymer.
Condensation polymer is formed when the monomers with two different
