Which of the following sets contain only addition homopolymers?
A
Polythene, natural rubber, cellulose
B
Nylon, polyester, melamine resin
C
Teflon, bakelite, orlon
D
Neoprene, $$PVC,$$ polythene
Answer :
Neoprene, $$PVC,$$ polythene
View Solution
Discuss Question
Neoprene is made from chloroprene, $$PVC$$ is from vinyl chloride and polyethene is from ethene monomer.

The difference in the densities of low density $$(LDP)$$ and high density polymers $$(HDP)$$ is due to the fact that
A
$$LDP$$ are highly branched structures while $$HDP$$ consists of closely packed linear molecules
B
$$LDP$$ are linear chains while $$HDP$$ are branched chains of polythene
C
both $$LDP$$ and $$HDP$$ are unbranched linear chains with different lengths
D
at high temperature, the density of polymer is reduced
Answer :
$$LDP$$ are highly branched structures while $$HDP$$ consists of closely packed linear molecules

Which one of the following is not a condensation polymer?
A
Melamine
B
Glyptal
C
Dacron
D
Neoprene
Answer :
Neoprene
View Solution
Discuss Question
Condensation polymers are obtained by bifunctional molecules (monomers) with the elimination of smaller molecules whereas additional polymers are obtained from multiple bond containing monomers. Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene $$\left( {C{H_2} = C\left( {Cl} \right) - CH = C{H_2}} \right)$$ so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.

Bakelite is obtained from phenol by reacting with
A
$${\left( {C{H_2}OH} \right)_2}$$
B
$$C{H_3}CHO$$
C
$$C{H_3}COC{H_3}$$
D
$$HCHO$$
Answer :
$$HCHO$$
View Solution
Discuss Question
Bakelite is formed by the reaction of formaldehyde $$\left( {HCHO} \right)$$ and phenol so the correct answer is (D).

Which of the following polymer is a polyamide ?
A
Terylene
B
Nylon
C
Rubber
D
Vulcanised rubber
Answer :
Nylon
View Solution
Discuss Question
Nylon is a polyamide fibre. It is prepared by the condensation polymerisation of adipic acid $$\left( {HOOC{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_4}COOH} \right)$$ and hexamethylene diamine $$\left( {{H_2}N{{\left( {C{H_2}} \right)}_6}N{H_2}} \right).$$
