Question

Benzene was first synthesized by passing acetylene through red hot tube (Berthelot). This is an example of condensation polymerisation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Benzene was first synthesized by passing acetylene through red hot tube (Berthelot). This is an example of addition polymerisation.
Note: Condensation polymerisation involves removal of small simple molecule such as water. In addition polymerisation, there is no elimination of small molecule.
