Assertion (A): Most of the synthetic polymers are not biodegradable.
Reason (R): Polymerisation process induces toxic character in organic molecules.
The assertion is a correct statement, but the reason is an incorrect statement.
Assertion:
Most synthetic polymers are not environment friendly and are not easily degraded into nature.
Examples of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers: Buna-N, Nylon, polythene, plastic, etc.
Hence, the assertion is a correct statement.
Reason:
Polymerisation does not induce toxic character in organic molecules. It is the process in which the monomers are linked to each other to form macromolecules like polymers.
Hence, the reason is an incorrect statement.
The assertion is a correct statement, but the reason is an incorrect statement.
So, option (d) is the correct answer.
