Which of the following is not a basis of classification of polymers ?
Options
- ASource
- BNumber of monomers
- CMethod of preparation
- DStructure
Correct answer
B. Number of monomers
Step-by-step solution
Polymers are broadly classified on the basis of the following parameters: 1. Source (Natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic polymers) 2. Structure (Linear, branched-chain, and cross-linked polymers) 3. Mode of polymerisation or method of preparation (Addition and condensation polymers) 4. Molecular forces (Elastomers, fibres, thermoplastics, and thermosetting polymers) Polymers are not classified on the basis of the number of monomers. (Note: Based on the types of monomers, they are classified into homopolymers and
