JEE Main 2002 Chemistry question

Polymer formation from monomers starts by

(1)condensation reaction between monomersCorrect
(2)coordinate reaction between monomers
(3)conversion of monomer to monomer ions by protons
(4)hydrolysis of monomers

Answer: (1)

Solution

Polymers are formed by linking monomers; one of the two basic modes is condensation between the functional groups of monomers (with loss of small molecules such as water), which is the answer expected here, option (1). Monomers
