O Levels Chemistry (5070)•5070/11/O/N/22

Explanation
Polymer Structure Matching Monomers
Steps:
- Identify the polymer's repeating unit and linkage type (e.g., ester, amide).
- Match monomers to the functional groups that form the polymer bond.
- Verify if the shown structure depicts condensation polymerization correctly.
- Eliminate options with mismatched or incomplete monomer-polymer pairs.
Why D is correct:
- D shows the polyamide (nylon) structure with repeating -[NH-R-CO]- units from diamine and diacid monomers, following condensation polymerization where water is eliminated.
Why the others are wrong:
- A incorrectly pairs polyester monomers with an amide-linked polymer.
- B depicts addition polymerization monomers but shows a condensation polymer structure.
- C has mismatched functional groups; the monomers cannot form the shown ether linkages.
Not enough information on exact structures, but based on standard examples.
Final answer: D
