Which one of the following is not a condensation polymer?
Which one of the following is not a condensation polymer?
Options
- AMelamine
- BGlyptal
- CDacron
- DNeoprene
Correct answer
D. Neoprene
Step-by-step solution
Condensation polymers are obtained by bifunctional molecules (monomers) with the elimination of smaller molecules whereas additional polymers are obtained from multiple bond containing monomers. Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene \left(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{Cl})-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}_2\right) so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.
