condensation reaction animation

This is so called because when two monomers combine with each other they add on to a growing chain, producing a byproduct. Nylon is a polyamide. It is a condensation copolymer of 1,6-hexanediamine and adipic acid...

Monomers react with each other with elimination of small molecules like water, methanol and ammonia to form polymers. Example: Nylon is a condensation polym..

Aldol condensation of a mixture of two different aldehydes or / and ketones each containing an a -hydrogen gives a mixture of four products. In this reaction, each carbonyl compound produces the corresponding enolate anion. This enolate anion may add on to the compound with th..

In this stage, water and carbon dioxide are used to form carbohydrates. This is done with the help of a carbon acceptor - ribulose biophosphate (RuBP). Calvin cycle produces sugar molecules and regenerates the carbon acceptor which then enters another cycle. The hydrogen atoms set free during the ..

Introduction - Matter undergoes certain changes as a result of the application of energy. Glaciers melt in summer and rivers freeze in winter. Water from saltpans on the sea coast dry up, leaving behind salt. Water from the sea evaporates to from water vapour, which form into clouds and then c..

Introduction - The nitrogenous waste materials produced in the animal body due to metabolic reactions are of no use to the cell. These waste materials if allowed to accumulate in the body, may become toxic. Therefore, they must be removed from the body. The process of eliminatio..
