Identify the polymer obtained by addition polymerization method from following.
Options
- ANylon 6
- BDacron
- CPolythene
- DNylon 6,6
Correct answer
C. Polythene
Step-by-step solution
Addition polymerization involves the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing double or triple bonds to form a polymer without the elimination of any small molecules. Polythene is formed by the addition polymerization of ethene ( CH₂=CH₂ ) molecules. Nylon 6, Dacron, and Nylon 6,6 are formed by condensation polymerization, which involves the elimination of small molecules like water. Answer: Polythene
