Solution
The correct option is D 2, 4 3 and 5 are addition polymers: Addition polymers form:
When unsaturated carbon (organic) molecules react to form a long chain polymer molecule
No small molecules or atoms are eliminated during the reaction chloroethene (vinyl chloride) CH2=CHCl monomer forms polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) −[−CH2−CHCl−]n− (Tetrafluoroethene (tetrafluoroethylene))
CF2=CF2 monomer forms polymer polytetrafluorethene (polytetrafluoroethylene, teflon) −[CF2−CF2−]n− Condensation polymers form: When bifunctional monomers react to form a long chain polymer molecule small molecules, such as water, are eliminated during the reaction. Polyesters, polyamides, proteins and polysaccharides such as cellulose, are all examples of condensation polymers. Example: terephthalic acid + ethylene glycol gives polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE, or terylene or dacron) nHOOC−C6H4−COOH+nHO−(CH2)2−OH→ −(−OCC6H4−COO−(CH2)2−O−)n−+(2n−1)H2O
