Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula for the repeating unit of the polyester of 3-hydroxynonanoic acid has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Polymerization is the process in which the small molecules (monomer molecules) link together in a chemical reaction to form large chain that are called polymer.

Polymer may contain one or more than one functional group in its structure. There are two types of polymerization, addition polymerization and condensation polymerization.

On the basis monomers, polymers are further divided as homopolymers and heteropolymers. Homopolymers are composed of a single monomer and heteropolymers are composed of two or more than two polymers.
