Chemistry - Polymer Question with Solution | TestHub

Polymers are broadly classified on the basis of the following parameters:

1. Source (Natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic polymers)
2. Structure (Linear, branched-chain, and cross-linked polymers)
3. Mode of polymerisation or method of preparation (Addition and condensation polymers)
4. Molecular forces (Elastomers, fibres, thermoplastics, and thermosetting polymers)

Polymers are not classified on the basis of the number of monomers. (Note: Based on thetypesof monomers, they are classified into homopolymers and copolymers, but not on thenumberof monomers).

Answer: Number of monomers
