Dehydration and Hydrolysis Reactions
Introduction
Carbon Organic Chemistry
PolymerizationPolymer- Large molecule made of many parts
Monomer- Subunit or building block for Polymer
Breaking and Forming PolymersDehydration Synthesis take water outJoining monomers to add polymers by adding water
Hydrolysisbreak using waterBreaking polymers into monomers by adding water
Dehydration SynthesisMonosaccharidesDisaccharidePolysaccharide
