What type of reaction best describes the polymerization of the following monomers?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polymerization of the given monomers involves the formation of a long chain by the repeated reaction of two or more reactive species. This type of polymerization is called step-growth polymerization. In this type of polymerization, small molecules are eliminated as a by-product (such as water, ammonia, or alcohol) during the reaction. The given monomers are likely to react by forming covalent bonds between their functional groups, resulting in the formation of a polymer. Hence, the best choice is E, step-growth polymerization.
