Answer»

Solution :The POLYMERS that are formed by repeated condensation reaction between two different bi-functional ortrifunctional monomeric UNITS with the ELIMINATION of simple molecules like water, methyl alcohol, ammonia, hydrogen chloride etc are called as condensation polymers.
Example: Nylon-6,6 is formed by the condensation hexamethylene diammine with adipic acid.
`n H_(2)n(CH_(2))_(6)NH_(2)+n HCOOC(CH_(2))_(4)COOH to [-NH(CH_(2))_(6)NHCO(CH_(2))_(4)CO-]n +2nH_(2)O`
