What is the repeating unit in the condensation polymer obtained by combining HOOC-CH2-CH2-COOH (succinic acid) & H2N-CH2-CH2-NH2 (ethylenediamine)

When succinic acid react with ethylenediamine, it form nylon type polymers.

HOOC-CH2-CH2-COOH + H2N-CH2-CH2-NH2 HOOC-CH2-CH2-CO-HN-CH2-CH2-NH2 + H2O

 

The repeating unit is –(-OC-CH2-CH2-CO- HN-CH2-CH2-NH-)-

For 1st it is ( CH2- COOH ),  Monomer will be CH2=COOH

For 2nd it's ( NH2-CH2 ) , Monomer will be H2N=CH2
