Options

  1. APVC
  2. BBakelite
  3. CPolyetylene
  4. DTeflon

Correct answer

B. Bakelite

Step-by-step solution

PVC is formed by the addition polymerization of vinyl chloride. Polyethylene is formed by the addition polymerization of ethene. Teflon is formed by the addition polymerization of tetrafluoroethene. Bakelite is a condensation polymer formed by the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde with the elimination of water molecules. Thus, Bakelite is not an example of addition polymerization.
