1. d
In addition polymerization, the monomers are unsaturated compounds and commonly derivatives of ethene.
2. b
A polymer has always repeating structural units derived from monomer. For example, proteins and nucleic
acid are regarded as macromolecules, but not polymers because their molecules do not contain repeating
structural units. All polymers are macromolecules, but all macromolecules are not polymers.
3. b
In condensation polymerization, a series of condensation reactions between the (generally two) monomers
containing at least two functional groups each occur with the loss of a small molecule such as H2O, CH3OH or
HX (X = halogen). Terylene is a condensation polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
4. b
akelite is thermosetting polymer of phenol and formaldehyde. In presence of a base, an electrophilic
substitution reaction occur between the phenol and formaldehyde.
5. a
Dacron (terylene) is a polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
