Maleic anhydride reacts with ethylene glycol to produce an alkyd resin. Draw thestructure of the condensation polymer produced.

The reaction gives, a linear unsaturated polyester.

Explanation:

Condensation reaction -

It refers to the type of reaction, where two reactants combine to give a single product, by the removal of any small molecule like, water, ammonia etc.

From the question,

Maleic anhydride reacts with ethylene glycol to give a linear unsaturated polyesters.

The formula of the polyester is attached.
