Tacticity is simply the way pendant groups are arranged along the
backbone chain of a polymer
The Orientation of the monomeric units in a polymer molecule can take place in a
orderly or disorderly fashion, with respect to the main chain. This difference in
configuration is referred as tacticity. Thacticity can affect the physical properties.

Condensation Polymers
These polymers are formed by the condensation of two or more monomers with the
elimination of simple molecules like water and alcohol.
21
Co-polymerization
Joint polymerization of two or more monomers. High molecular weight
compounds obtained by Co-polymerization are called Copolymers.
