Describe the reaction involved when a condensation polymer is formed. ?
Um does this lik mean that water is condensed out.? what else shud i mention?

 

[Aerlinn]

Where there's a condensation reaction you have two reactions put together, say two monomers, eg. an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, and a small molecule eg. water is removed and comes out as a product. The reactants join up.

important to stress: small molecule... doesn't have to be water... but usually it is...
