 Passage # 1
Polymers are made of small molecules known as
monomers. Homopolymer is that which is formed by only
one type of monomer. copolymer is that which is formed
by more than one type of monomers. Natural polymers
are biodegradable whereas synthetic polymers may or
may not be. Cross linked polymers are always
condensation polyemers.
6. Which of the following is a copolymer :
(1) Poly propylene
(2) Bakelite
(3) PVC
(4) Polystyrene
7. Which of the following is biodegradable polymer ?
(1) Terylene (2) Teflon
(3) Cellulose (4) Glyptal
8. Neoprene, an important synthetic rubber, is formed by :
(1) Polymerisation of isoprene
(2) Polymerisation of chloroprene
(3) Copolymerisation of styrene and propene
(4) Copolymerisation of styrene and vinyl chloride
Passage # 2
The utility of the polymers in various fields is due to their
mechanical properties like tensile strength, elasticity,
toughness etc. These properties mainly depend upon
intermolecular forces like van der Waal's forces and
hydrogen bonding operating in polymer molecules.
Polymers have been classified on this basis, e.g., (a)
Elastomers (b) Fibres (c) Thermoplastics (d)
Thermosetting. Hence
9. The molecular forces of attraction are weakest in :
(1) Elastomers (2) Fibres
(3) Thermoplastics (4) Thermosetting polymers
10. Which of the following have usually a linear structure ?
(1) Thermoplastics (2) Thermosetting polymers
(3) Polyethylene (4) Nylon-66
11. Which of the following is hard ?
(1) Elastomer
(2) Fibre
(3) Thermoplastic
(4) Thermosetting polymer
