A polymer consists of repeated, linked units. The units may be identical or structurally related to each other. Monomers link to form polymers through a chemical reaction called a condensation reaction.

Which pair of functional groups can be part of a condensation reaction form a polymer chain?

The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.

What is the Process of linking monomers to form a polymer?

In a polymerization process, monomers are linked together by chemical bonds to form a polymer chain. This typically involves a reaction where the monomers undergo a series of steps to form polymer chains of various lengths. The process can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties depending on the monomers used and the polymerization conditions.

The polymer in some sticky plasters is switched off by light because light makes bonds form between the polymer chains suggest why this may make the polymer less sticky?

The polymer must form bonds with the object if it is to stick to it. If the number of bonds between the polymer chains increases, the number of bonds they share with other objects will probably decrease, making it less sticky.
