Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the lactone from which the given polymer is prepared is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
A polymer may contain one or more than one functional groups in its structure.
Condensation polymerization is the process of formation of polymers in which the polymers are formed by the linkage of monomer molecule with removal of small molecules like water or methanol. It is a step-growth polymerization process.
Lactones are cyclic esters of carboxylic acids that results in the formation of polyesters on polymerization.
