Which of the following is not a condensation polymer?

  1. Melamine

  2. Glyptal

  3. Neoprene

  4. Dacron

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Neoprene is an addition polymer.

The ratio of Mw and Mn for most of the synthetic polymer is

  1. more than 1

  2. less than 1

  3. equal to 1

  4. dependent upon the type of monomer

  5. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For synthetic polymers, Mw (the weight average) is always larger than Mn (the number average), so it is always greater than 1.

  5. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A homopolymer is a polymer, which is formed from only one type of monomer and is made up of 2 different monomers; a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid.

Polymer formation from monomers starts by _________.

  1. hydrolysis of monomers

  2. conversion of monomers to monomer ion by protons

  3. coordination reaction between monomers

  4. condensation reaction between monomers

  5. none of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a correct answer. Polymer formation from monomers starts by condensation reaction between monomers.
