Question

Which among the following polymers is an example of addition polymer?

Options

• Ureaformaldehyde polymer

• Nylon

• Polythene

• Dacron

Answer 1

Polythene

Explanation:

$$\underset{\mathrm{Ethene}}{\text{n}\mathrm{CH}{\phantom{A}}_2=\mathrm{CH}{\phantom{A}}_2}\stackrel{\mathrm{Polymerisation}}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{Polythene}}{[-\mathrm{CH}{\phantom{A}}_2-\mathrm{CH}{\phantom{A}}_2-]{\phantom{A}}_{\text{n}}}$$
