If oxalic acid which contains two carboxylic acids groups and ethylene diamine which contains two amine groups react, the type of bond formed in the polymers is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between oxalic acid and ethylenediamine forms a polymer called polyamide or nylon. The carboxylic acid groups of oxalic acid react with the amine groups of ethylenediamine to form amide linkages (-CONH-) resulting in the formation of a polyamide. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) an amide.
