another name for a condensation reaction
Example Sentences for condensation. There are at least two and probably more stages of condensation. A tale must aim at condensation, but a bore acts in solution. It seems the condensation of a whole youth of study, dreams and sentiment, of a tortuous, timorous youth. It is really a condensation of the facts, as the trail is shortened where uninteresting. This type of reaction is used as a basis for the making of many important polymers, for example: nylon, polyester, and other condensation polymers and various epoxies. It is also the basis for the laboratory formation of silicates and polyphosphates. To form the disaccharide, the OH of one molecule  (such as glucose) bonds to the H in the other OH molecule (such as  glucose, fructose, or galactose). This forms a H2O molecule  (water), and then the excess O forms a bridge between the two  monosachrides; forming a disacaride. They are (generally) opposite reactions. Dehydration (condensation) reactions build polymers from monomers by removing water while hydrolysis reactions break polymers into mon…omers by adding water. The condensation of two amino acids to form a peptide bond (red) with expulsion of water (blue) A condensation reaction, is a chemical reaction in which two molecules or moieties, often functional groups, combine to form a larger molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. 18 Synonyms found for condensation. condensation c.1600, action of becoming more dense, from L. condensationem, noun of action from condensare (see condense). Meaning conversion of a gas to a liquid is from 1614. There are at least two and probably more stages of condensation. The chemical process by which a molecule of water is removed from the reactants to join the reactants together. Dehydration synthesis takes place when the monomers of organi…c compounds join together by a chemical reaction to make polymers. Hydrolysis its the opposite reaction of breaking up polymers and is accomplished also by chemical reaction. A dehydration synthesis reaction is the combination of elements  and/or simple compounds to form a complex compound by removing the  H2O.    Dehydration synthesis occ…urs in the combination of many things,  such as two monosaccharides that come together to form a  disaccharide. Word Origin & History. condensation c.1600, action of becoming more dense, from L. condensationem, noun of action from condensare (see condense). Meaning conversion of a gas to a liquid is from 1614. There are at least two and probably more stages of condensation. In one type of polymerization reaction, a series of condensation steps take place whereby monomers or monomer chains add to each other to form longer chains called polymers. This is termed 'condensation polymerization' or 'step-growth polymerization', and occurs for example in the synthesis of polyesters or nylons.
