What are the structural similarities between such polymers? Bakelite, urea-formaldehyde resin, polythene, polyvinyl, polystyrene.
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.

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.

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
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 of the following are addition polymers?
(a) Nylon (b) Melamine formaldehyde resin
(c) Orion (d) Polystyrene
Why should the monomers used in addition polymerisation through free radical pathway be very pure?
