Question: Which of the following is a characteristic of condensation polymerization?

Options:

1. It produces small molecules as byproducts
2. It requires high temperatures
3. It only involves alkenes
4. It is a one-step process

Correct Answer: It produces small molecules as byproducts

Solution:

Condensation polymerization typically involves the reaction of two different monomers, resulting in the release of small molecules such as water or methanol.
