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

The basis on the mode of their formation, the polymers can be classified:

  1. As addition polymers only

  2. As condensation polymers only

  3. As copolymers

  4. Both as addition and condensation polymers

D Correct answer
Explanation

On the basis of the mode of their formation, the polymers can be classified as addition polymers and condensation polymers.
Addition polymers are formed by chain growth polymerization and condensation polymers are formed by the combination of two monomers by the elimination of a small molecule like water or methyl alcohol.


Option D is correct.

Polyethene is produced by :

  1. isomerization

  2. polymerisation

  3. hydrogenation

  4. all of the above

B Correct answer
Explanation

Polymerization is the 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 step growth and chain growth.It occurs via variety of reaction mechanisms due to functional groups present and their steric effects.

Monomer of polythene is :

  1. propene

  2. isoprene

  3. chloroprene

  4. ethene

D Correct answer
Explanation

Polyethylene is the most common plastic. The monomer is ethylene, a gaseous hydrocarbon with the formula ${ C } _{ 2 }{ H } _{ 4 }$ which can be viewed as a pair of methylene groups connected to each other. As it is highly reactive, the ethylene must be of high purity.

Which one of the following is a phenolic resin similar to Bakelite?

  1. Catalin

  2. Melamine

  3. Celluloid

  4. Crystalate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Catalin is a brand name for a thermosetting polymer that was popular from the 1930s. It is another phenolic resin, similar to Bakelite, but with different mineral fillers that allowed the production of light colors. Like Bakelite, it gives off a distinctive phenolic odour when heated.

The necessary condition for a compound to form fibre is that

  1. its molecules must be linear

  2. its molecules must be spherical

  3. its molecules must be rectangular

  4. its molecules must be hexagonal
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

All polymers cannot form fibres. The key requirement of a fibre forming polymer is that the molecule must be linear. This permits their side by side alignment.

Option A is correct.
