  2. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of the A

  3. A is correct but R is in correct

  4. A is incorrect but R is correct

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Polymethyl methacrylate is also known as plexi glass.
PMMA is polymethyl methaacrylate. It is an addition hopolymer of methyl methacrylate ($\displaystyle CH _2 =C(CH _3)COOCH _3 $).
PMMA is used in decorative articles, lenses, sign borads and aircraft windows.

  2. (a - p), (b - s), (c - p,r), (d - p,q)

  3. (a - s), (b - q), (c - p,r), (d - q)

  4. (a - q), (b - s), (c - r), (d - p,q)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The addition polymers are formed by the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing double or triple bonds, e.g., the formation of polythene from ethene and polypropene from propene. Addition polymers: Polyvinyl chloride, Polythene, Buna-S, Buna-N, etc.

Polystyrene  is a synthetic aromatic polymer made from the monomer styrene.
It is addition polymer as it is made of addition of monomers.

The condensation polymers are formed by repeated condensation reaction between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomeric units. 

In these polymerisation reactions, the elimination of small molecules such as water, alcohol, hydrogen chloride, etc. take place. The examples are terylene (dacron), nylon 6, 6, nylon 6, etc. For example, nylon 6, 6 is formed by the condensation of hexamethylene diamine with adipic acid.


Hence, option A is correct.

  3. c-r

  4. d-r,s

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,D
Explanation:

The condensation polymers are formed by repeated condensation reaction between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomeric units. 

Terylene is a condensation polymer. Monomers of Terylene is ethylene glycol and teri-phthalic acid.
Buna-S is formed by the monomeric addition of compound styrene (p) and butadiene (q). 
Hence, options A, B and D are correct options.

  1. fiberes

  2. thermoplatics

  3. thermosetting

  4. elastomeres

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Polyamides are generally fibers because of the intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding which gives them high tensile strength.

Teflon, a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene, is an excellent plastic material for films and coatings. Which of the following is not the property of Teflon?

chemistry polymer polymers of commercial importance some commercially important polymers condensation polymers

  1. It is unaltered by radiation

  2. It can withstand high temperatures

  3. It is one of the most chemically-resistant plastic in the world

  4. It is an ideal insulator for high-frequency fittings

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$PTFE$ (Poly tetra fluoro ethylene) is very sensitive and is therefore not suitable for applications involving exposure of any radiation as it will degrade.
