The correct answer is; "Assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups"

Polymers are formed from monomers either by condensation or by addition of monomers.

A polymer is formed by the joining of one or more monomers. This can happen in either of the following ways;

  • condensation
  • addition

Condensation polymerization involves the loss of a small molecule. When the molecule that is lost is water, we can call it dehydration. Loss of molecules does not occur in addition polymerization.

The two monomer molecules that join to yield the polymer by dehydration must have H and OH moieties in suitable positions for dehydration to occur. A typical example is assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups.

For more about condensation polymerization, see

Eduardwww [97]

An isotope of any element is the same, with a variation in the neutrons of the nucleus.

The mass number change but the atomic number doesn't.

In this case, protium, deuterium, and tritium are all hydrogen isotopes.

Protium is 1H or Hydrogen-1 is without neutrons.

Deuterium is 2H  or Hydrogen-2 has one neutron.

Tritium is 3H or Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.
