Pick out the incorrect statement amongst the following-
Nylon clothing can stand high temperature and are therefore good to wear in summers.
Thermosetting plastics do not become soft on heating.
Addition polymers are formed without the elimination of by-product molecules.
Natural rubber is obtained as latex from rubber.
Nylon clothing can stand high temperature and are therefore good to wear in summers.
Explanation for correct option:
(A): Nylon clothing is made from synthetic fibers and they cannot withstand high temperatures and are not suitable to wear in summers.
Explanation for incorrect options:
(B): Thermosetting plastics are generally harder and stronger. These polymers cannot be softened and melted on heating.
(C): Those polymers which are formed by the addition of monomers without the elimination of small products are termed addition polymers.
(D): The rubber that is extracted from naturally occurring sources is determined as natural rubber. It is obtained as latex from rubber trees.
Final answer:
Hence, the correct option is (A).
