Can nucleic acids, proteins and starch be considered as step growth polymers?
Yes, step growth polymers (nucleic acids, proteins and starch) are conden ¬sation polymers and they can be formed by the loss of simple molecule like water leading to the formation of high molecular mass polymers.

(c) Nylon (d) Terylene
Assertion (A): Olefinic monomers undergo addition polymerization.
Reason (R): Polymerisation of vinyl chloride is initiated by peroxides/ persulphates.
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.

What is a biodegradable polymer ? Give an example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.
Which of the following polymers are condensation polymers?
(a) Bakelite (b) Teflon
(c) Butyl rubber (d) Melamine formaldehyde resin
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.

(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.
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?
How is the following resin intermediate prepared and which polymer is formed by this monomer unit?
Which of the following are examples of synthetic rubber?
