Identify the type of polymer given in the following figure.
It is a cross linked polymer, since the various polymer chains are joined together to form a three-dimensional network structure (giant molecule).

What are the structural similarities between such polymers? Bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resin, polythene, polyvinyl, polystyrene.
Which of the following polymers are condensation polymers?
(a) Bakelite (b) Teflon
(c) Butyl rubber (d) Melamine formaldehyde resin
Assertion (A): Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerization.
Reason (R): Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/ persulphates.
Out of chain growth polymerisation and step growth polymerisation, in which type will you place the following.
Name the polymers used in laminated sheets and give the name of monomeric units involved in its formation.
What is a biodegradable polymer ? Give an example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.
Which of the following polymers are thermoplastic?
(a) Teflon (b) Natural rubber (c) Neoprene (d) Polystyrene
Which of the following are characteristics of thermosetting polymers?
(a) Heavily branched cross linked polymers.
(b) Linear slightly branched long chain molecules.
(c) Become infusible on moulding so cannot be reused.
(d) Soften on heating and harden on cooling, can be reused.
Write the names and structures of the monomers of the following polymers:
(i) Buna-S (ii) Buna-N (iii) Dacron (iv) Neoprene
What is the role of benzoyl peroxide in addition polymerization of alkenes? Explain its mode of action with the help of an example.
Assertion (A): Polyamides are best used as fibres because of high tensile strength.
Reason (R): Strong intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonding within polyamides) lead to close packing of chains and increase the crystalline character, hence, provide high tensile strength to polymers.
How is the following resin intermediate prepared and which polymer is formed by this monomer unit?
What is the structural difference between HDP and LDP? How does the structure account for different behaviour and nature, hence the use of a polymer?
Which of the following are examples of synthetic rubber?
(a) Polychloroprene (b) Polyacrylonitrile
(c) Buna-N (d) cis-polyisoprene
Which type of biomolecules have some structural similarity with synthetic polyamides? What is this similarity?
Assertion (A): For making rubber synthetically, isoprene molecules are polymerised.
i Reason (R): Neoprene (a polymer of chloroprene) is a synthetic rubber.
Which of the following monomers form biodegradable polymers?
(a) 3-hydroxybutanoic acid +3-hydroxypentanoic acid
(b) Glycine + aminocaproic acid
(c) Ethylene glycol + phthalic acid
(d) Caprolactam
Assertion (A): For making rubber synthetically, isoprene molecules are polymerised.
i Reason (R): Neoprene (a polymer of chloroprene) is a synthetic rubber.
Which of the following are addition polymers?
(a) Nylon (b) Melamine formaldehyde resin
(c) Orion (d) Polystyrene
Vulcanisation makes rubber .
(a) more-elastic (b) soluble in inorganic solvent
(c) crystalline (d) more stiff
Assertion (A): Most of the synthetic polymers are not biodegradable.
Reason (R): Polymerisation process induces toxic character in organic molecules.
Classify the following as addition and condensation polymers:
Terylene, Bakelite, Polyvinyl chloride,Polythene
Assertion (A): Network polymers are thermosetting.
Reason (R): Network polymers have high molecular mass.
Low density polythene and high density polythene, both are polymers of ethane but there is marked difference in their properties. Explain.
Why should the monomers used in addition polymerisation through free radical pathway be very pure?
Assertion (A): Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerization.
Reason (R): Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/ persulphates.
