The Bakelite is made from phenol and formaldehyde. The initial reaction between the two compounds is an example of
Aromatic electrophilic substitution
Aromatic nucleophilic substitution
Free radical reaction
Aldol condensation
Nitration is an example of aromatic electrophilic substitution and its rate depends upon the group already present in the benzene ring. Out of benzene and phenol, which one is more easily nitrated and why?
Which of the following polymers are condensation polymers?
(a) Bakelite
(b) Teflon
(c) Buty rubber
(d) Melamine formaldehyde resin
