Question
Match the polymer of column I with correct monomer of column II.
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) High density polythene | (a) Isoprene |
| (ii) Neoprene | (b) Tetrafluoroethene |
| (iii) Natural rubber | (c) Chloroprene |
| (iv) Teflon | (d) Acrylonitrile |
| (v) Acrilan | (e) Ethene |
Solution
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) High density polythene | (e) Ethene |
| (ii) Neoprene | (c) Chloroprene |
| (iii) Natural rubber | (a) Isoprene |
| (iv) Teflon | (b) Tetrafluoroethene |
| (v) Acrilan | (d) Acrylonitrile |
Explanation:
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) High density polythene | It is formed when addition polymerisation of ethene takes place in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst. |
| (ii) Neoprene | Neoprene or polychloroprene is formed by the free radical polymerisation of chloroprene. |
| (iii) Natural rubber | Natural rubber may be considered as a linear polymer of isoprene (2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene). |
| (iv) Teflon | Teflon is manufactured by heating tetrafluoroethene with a free radical or persulphate catalyst at high pressures. |
| (v) Acrilan | The addition polymerisation of acrylonitrile in pressure of a peroxide catalyst leads to the formation of polyacrylonitrile. |
