==Key Stage 4 Higher==
===Meaning===
'''Condensation polymerisation''' is a [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]] in which [[monomer]]s combine to form [[polymer]]s [[product|producing]] a H<sub>2</sub>O or HCl [[molecule]] for each addition of a [[monomer]].
===About Condensation Polymerisation===
: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]s are called '''condensation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] because they usually [[product|produce]] [[Water]], but they may also [[Product|produce]] other small [[molecule]]s such as HCl.
: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reaction]]s happen commonly in biological [[organism]]s.
====Forming Polyesters====
: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] which [[product|produce]] [[Water]] can happen when one end of a [[molecule]] carries an -OH [[Functional Group|group]] while the other end carries a -COOH [[Functional Group|group]]. These [[Chemical Reaction|react]] together joining the [[molecule]]s forming a [[Polyester]].
: '''Condensation polymerisation''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]] which [[product|produce]] [[Water]] can also happen when one [[molecule]] carries two -OH [[Functional Group|groups]] at either end of the [[molecule]] while the other [[molecule]] carries two -COOH [[Functional Group|groups]]. These two [[molecule]]s [[Chemical Reaction|react]] together joining the [[molecule]]s forming a [[Polyester]] and [[product|producing]] [[Water]].
