Multiple choice classification of polymers introduction to polymers and its classification polymer polymers chemistry

A polymer which is used as a suture, i.e., for stiching of wounds after operations is 

  1. PHBV

  2. nylon-2-Nylon-6

  3. dextran

  4. dacron
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Dextran is a complex branched glucan used as a plasma volume expander and in some surgical applications, but biodegradable polymers like PHBV or polyglycolic acid are more common for sutures. However, in the context of standard chemistry curricula, Dextran is often cited for its biocompatibility.

Which of the following is used in conveyor belt?

  1. PVC

  2. Polythene

  3. Neoprene

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

In order to move the belt and the material to transport one or both the pulleys should be power-driven. These belts are generally made of rubber, PVC, Urethane, Neoprene, Nylon, Nitrile, Polyester, leather, polythene and others. The industrial conveyor belts are made up of multiple layers of material.


Hence, the correct options are $\text{A}, \text{B}$ and $\text{C}$

Which of the following is not true?

  1. Step growth polymerisation required a bifunctional monomer.
  2. Nylon $6$ is an example of step- growth polymerisation
  3. Nylon $6$ is an example of Chain growth polymerisation.

  4. Chain growth polymerisation involves homopolymerisation only.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Nylon 6 is formed by the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam, which is a type of chain-growth polymerization, not step-growth. Therefore, the statement that it is step-growth is false.

Zeifler-Natta catalystic system is a combination of :

  1. $Rh(Ph _{3}P) _{3}CI$ and $H _{2}$
  2. $Ti(O^{i}Pr) _{4}$ and $^{t}BuOOH$
  3. $Rh(Ph _{3}P) _{3}CI$ and $CO$
  4. $TiCI _{4}$ and $AI(C _{2}H _{2}) _{3}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Ziegler-Natta catalysts are organometallic compounds used for polymerization of olefins. The classical Ziegler-Natta catalyst combines TiCl4 (titanium tetrachloride) with Al(C2H5)3 (triethylaluminum, often written as AlEt3). Option D correctly shows this combination, though the formula notation has typographical issues with subscript formatting. B and C show different catalyst systems (Wilkinson's catalyst with CO/H2, and titanium isopropoxide with tert-butyl hydroperoxide for epoxidation).

Monomers of Natural Rubber and Neoprene are Respectively : 

  1. $CH _3 - \underset{CH _3}{\underset{|}{C}} = CH - CH _3 , \, \, CH _3 - \underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{C}} = CH - CH _3$
  2. $CH _2 = \underset{CH _3}{\underset{|}{C}} - CH = CH _2$ $CH _2 = \underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{C}} - CH = CH _2$
  3. $CH _2 = CH - CH = CH _2$ , $CH _2 = CH - Cl$
  4. $CH _2 = \underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{C}} - CH = CH _2$ $CH _2 = \underset{CH _3}{\underset{|}{C}} - CH = CH _2$

Polymerisation may occur through intermediate formation of___________.

  1. carbocations

  2. carbanions

  3. free radicals

  4. carbenes
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks. There are many forms of polymerization like free radical electrophilic and nucleophile polymerisations through the formation of free radicals, carbanions and carbocation intermediates. Carbene doesn't form in the reaction mechanism as intermediate.
Hence, options A, B and C are correct.

State True or False.

The presence of double bonds in rubber molecules influence their structure and reactivity.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The given statement is true.
The presence of double bonds in rubber molecules influence their structure and reactivity.
In natural rubber, double bonds have cis configuration. Hence, the chains do not come closer this results in weak intermolecular attractions. Natural rubber has coiled structure, it is elastic and non-crystalline. 
In gutta-percha(synthetic rubber) double bonds have trans configuration. The zig-zag chains pack more closely. It is highly crystalline, non elastic, hard & brittle.
