Question

Which among the following statement(s) is/are wrong:

• A. Teflon is a polymer of the monomer tetrafluoroethene
• B. PVC is a product of addition polymerization reaction
• C. Cellulose is a condensation polymer of $\alpha$-glucose
• D. Teflon is non-flammable and resistant to heat

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A Teflon is a polymer of the monomer tetrafluoroethene
B PVC is a product of addition polymerization reaction
D Teflon is non-flammable and resistant to heat

a) The monomer of teflon is tetrafluoroethene.
b) Addition polymerization is a type of polymerization in which polymers are formed from the simple linkage of the monomers without genereating any by-products. PVC is synthesized by the addition polymerization of vinylchloride.
c) Cellulose is a condensation polymer of $\beta$-glucose.
d) Teflon is non-flammable and resistant to heat, thus it is generally used to coat non-stick frying pans.
