Q: Just as the reaction of a diol and a diacid forms a polyester, the reaction of a diacid and a diamine yields this?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Polyamides Just as the reaction of a diol and a diacid forms a polyester (Section 15.8 "Preparation of Esters"), the reaction of a diacid and a diamine yields a polyamide. The two difunctional monomers often employed are adipic acid and 1,6-hexanediamine. The monomers condense by splitting out water to form a new product, which is still difunctional and thus can react further to yield a polyamide polymer.

 Choices:

- phenol

- polyethylene

- acetone

- polyamide


A:
polyamide
