13.10 Naming Amides
Suffix is “amide”
1. Root is derived from carboxylic acid
2. IUPAC names for secondary and tertiary
amides involve use of the prefix “N-” for
the amine substituents. If the same group
appears twice, use “di-” and prefix.
3. IUPAC names for amides of simple acids
allow the acid’s common name to be
used.

13.12 Condensation Polymers
Condensation reactions between polyfunctional
carboxylic acids and alcohols or amines
produce a wide variety of polymers. They
are called condensation polymers or stepgrowth polymers because of how they form.
Polymers formed from alkenes are called
chain-growth polymers or addition polymers.
