Which from following is a homopolymer ?
Options
- APolyacrylonitrile
- BBuna - N
- CUrea formaldehyde resin
- DPolycarbonate
Correct answer
A. Polyacrylonitrile
Step-by-step solution
A homopolymer is a polymer which is formed from only one type of monomer. Polyacrylonitrile is formed by the addition polymerization of a single monomer, acrylonitrile. Buna-N is a copolymer formed from two different monomers, 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile. Urea formaldehyde resin is a condensation copolymer formed from urea and formaldehyde. Polycarbonate is a condensation copolymer typically formed from bisphenol A and phosgene. Therefore, polyacrylonitrile is the only homopolymer among the given options.
