Chemistry - Polymer Question with Solution | TestHub
How many of the following is/are a condensation polymer ?
(A) Polystyrene
(B) Neoprene
(C) PAN
(D) Poly(ethylene terephthalate)
Answer:
Solution:
Question Explanation:
We need to identify how many of the given polymers are condensation polymers.
Concept:
This question is based on Condensation polymers, Addition polymers, Polymerization types Solution:
(A) Polystyrene → Formed by addition polymerization of styrene
(B) Neoprene → Formed by addition polymerization of chloroprene
(C) PAN (Polyacrylonitrile) → Formed by addition polymerization of acrylonitrile
(D) Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) → Formed by condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with elimination of water
Only PET is a condensation polymer.
