Question

Match the following: 

• A. A-III, B-II, C-I
• B. A-III, B-I, C-II
• C. A-II, B-I, C-III
• D. A-II, B-III, C-I

Hint:

- Homopolymers: Polymers made from a single type of monomer (e.g., Orlon).
- Copolymers: Polymers made from two or more different monomers (e.g., Buna-N).
- Condensation Polymers: Formed through step-growth polymerization with the elimination of a small molecule (e.g., Perlan-L).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding Polymer Types 
- Addition Polymer – Homopolymer: Formed by the polymerization of a single type of monomer. 
- Condensation Polymer: Formed by the elimination of small molecules like water during polymerization. 
- Addition Polymer – Copolymer: Formed by the polymerization of two or more different monomers. 

Step 2: Matching the Correct Examples 
- Orlon is a homopolymer of acrylonitrile, so it belongs to Addition Polymer – Homopolymer (A-II). 
- Perlan-L is a condensation polymer used in fiber applications, so it belongs to Condensation Polymer (B-III). 
- Buna-N is a copolymer used in synthetic rubber, so it belongs to Addition Polymer – Copolymer (C-I). 

Step 3: Verifying the Options 
- The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-I, which corresponds to Option (4).
