Question

Which of these undergo polymerisation?

• A. \( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \)
• B. \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \)
• C. \( \text{CH}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_3 \)
• D. \( \text{CH}_3\text{CHO} \)

Hint:

Polymerisation occurs with compounds that have reactive double bonds, like acetylene, which can polymerise to form a long-chain polymer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Polymerisation.
Polymerisation is a process in which monomer molecules join together to form a polymer. The compound \( \text{CH}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_3 \) (acetylene) undergoes polymerisation to form a polymer, while the other compounds do not.
Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (C), \( \text{CH}_3\text{C} - \text{CH}_3 \).
