Which of the following is a chain-growth polymer ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Polystyrene
Nucleic acids are formed when nucleotides are joined together by a condensation reaction that releases pyrophosphate (two phosphate groups bound together).
In case of proteins and starch, a water molecule is released upon condensation of amino acids and carbohydrate.
In case of polystyrene, chain-growth polymerization takes place, where an unsaturated monomer molecule (styrene) add to the active site of a growing polymeric chain one at a time.
Option C is correct.
