Condensation Polymerisation Questions

Monomer A and monomer B undergo a condensation polymerization reaction to form polymer C. The document provides the structures of the monomers and polymer and asks the reader to identify the functional groups involved. It also discusses how polyethene is formed from ethene and compares this polymerization reaction to how a polyester is formed.
