NEET2012ChemistryPolymersActual
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 ( CH ₂= C ( Cl )- CH = CH ₂ ) so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.
