Question

Match the following:

(i) Caprolactam	(a) Neoprene
(ii) Acrylonitrile	(b) Buna N
(iii) 2-Chlorobuta-1,3-diene	(c) Nylon – 6
(iv) 2-Methylbuta-1,3-diene	(d) Natural rubber

• A. (i) →(b), (ii) → (c), (iii) → (a), (iv) → (d)
• B. (i) → (a), (ii) → (c), (iii) → (b), (iv) → (d)
• C. (i) → (c), (ii) → (b), (iii) → (a), (iv) → (d)
• D. (i) → (c), (ii) → (a), (iii) → (b), (iv) → (d)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i) → (c), (ii) → (b), (iii) → (a), (iv) → (d)

Answer: (c)

i) Caprolactum is a monomer of nylon-6.

(ii) Acrylonitrile is one of the monomers of Buna-N.
Buna-N is a polymer of Buta-1,3-diene and acrylonitrile.

(iii) 2-Chlorobuta-1,3-diene also known as chloroprene, is a monomer of neoprene.

(iv) 2-Methylbuta-1,3-diene upon polymerisation gives natural rubber.

Hence, the correct matches are (i) → (c), (ii) → (b), (iii) → (a), (iv) → (d).
