Question

Which one of the following is not an example of a condensation polymer?

(1) Terylene
(2) Nylon 6,6
(3) Bakelite
(4) Polystyrene

• A. Terylene
• B. Nylon 6,6
• C. Bakelite
• D. Polystyrene

Hint:

Condensation polymers are formed when monomers combine with the elimination of a small molecule, such as water or methanol.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Polystyrene is a polymer formed by the addition polymerization of styrene monomers. It does not involve the elimination of small molecules like water, which is characteristic of condensation polymers. In contrast, Terylene, Nylon 6,6, and Bakelite are all examples of condensation polymers.
