Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following functional groups is commonly found in polyesters?
  • Step 1: Understand what polyesters are. They are a type of polymer made from repeating units.
  • Step 2: Know that polyesters are created by a chemical reaction between two types of molecules: diols and dicarboxylic acids.
  • Step 3: Identify the functional groups involved. Diols contain hydroxyl (-OH) groups, and dicarboxylic acids contain carboxyl (-COOH) groups.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when these two react, they form ester functional groups (-COO-), which are key components of polyesters.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the functional group commonly found in polyesters is the ester group.
