Question

what would a substance that could undergo condensation polymerization most likely have? two double bonds a triple bond two aldehyde functional groups two alcohol functional groups

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Condensation polymerization requires monomers with two or more functional groups that can react with each other to eliminate a small - molecule by - product. Alcohol functional groups can react with other functional groups (such as carboxylic acids) in a condensation reaction to form polymers. Aldehyde functional groups are not the typical ones for common condensation polymerizations compared to alcohol - containing monomers. Double and triple bonds are more characteristic of addition polymerization rather than condensation polymerization.

Answer:

D. two alcohol functional groups
