Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Ethane at to and atm pressure in the presence of and undergoes addition polymerization to give LDP.
Statement II: Caprolactam at in through step growth polymerizes to give .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Correct answer
A. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
Low Density Polyethylene is obtained by the polymerisation of ethene under high pressure of at in the presence of an initiator. High Density Polyethylene is obtained when polymerisation is done in the presence of Ziegler-Natta catalyst at under pressure. Nylon-6 is manufactured from the monomer called caprolactam. The monomer caprolactam is heated at in an inert atmosphere, it polymerises to give nylon-6.
