Options
- ACH 3 · CH 2 · CHO
- BCH 3 . CHO
- CH . CHO
- DHCOOH
Correct answer
C. H . CHO
Step-by-step solution
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic which is formed by the reaction of phenol with H . CHO in the presence of H 2 SO 4 (conc). The reaction occurs as follows: A cross-linked condensation polymer (at o -and p -position) bakelite is thus produced.
