Step 1
A polyamide is formed by the condensation polymerization of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine. The repeating unit of the polyamide contains an amide linkage (-CO-NH-). Let's analyze the given polyamide structure to identify the repeating unit and then deduce the Show more…

Draw the structures of the two monomers that react together to form this polyamide polymer. If there is more than one combination, draw only one. For polyamides, draw carboxylic acid monomers; not acid chlorides. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the sign from the drop-down menu.
