Question

what is the result of a dehydration reaction? a polymer forms when monomers covalently bond with each other as water is removed. water molecules form hydrogen bonds with each other, creating ice crystals. an ionic bond forms between two atoms, creating a larger molecule when water is removed. a single polymer is separated into individual monomers by the addition of a water molecule.

Explanation:

A dehydration reaction involves monomers bonding covalently to form a polymer while water is removed. The second option is about water - water interactions forming ice, the third is about ionic bond formation not related to dehydration, and the fourth is about hydrolysis (opposite of dehydration).

Answer:

A. A polymer forms when monomers covalently bond with each other as water is removed.
