Question

Match List I with List II:

List I - (Monomer)	List II - (Polymer)
(A) Tetrafluoroethene	(I) Orlon
(B) Acrylonitrile	(II) Natural rubber
(C) Caprolactam	(III) Teflon
(D) Isoprene	(IV) Nylon-6

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A)-(IIΙ), (B)-(Ι), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
• B. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
• C. (А)-(II), (Β)-(IIΙ), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
• D. (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

Hint:

Polymers are classified based on their monomer units and polymerization mechanism.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Polymerization Reactions and Products

Reactions and Corresponding Polymers:

• (A) Tetrafluoroethene:
  • Tetrafluoroethene (\( CF_2=CF_2 \)) polymerizes to form Teflon (\( (CF_2−CF_2)_n \)).
• (B) Acrylonitrile:
  • Acrylonitrile (\( CH_2=CHCN \)) polymerizes to form Orlon (\( (CH_2−CHCN)_n \)).
• (C) Caprolactam:
  • Caprolactam undergoes ring-opening polymerization to form Nylon-6 (\( (C_6H_{11}NO)_n \)).
• (D) Isoprene:
  • Isoprene (\( C_5H_8 \)) polymerizes to form natural rubber (\( (C_5H_8)_n \)).

Final Products:

• (A): Teflon (\( (CF_2−CF_2)_n \))
• (B): Orlon (\( (CH_2−CHCN)_n \))
• (C): Nylon-6 (\( (C_6H_{11}NO)_n \))
• (D): Natural Rubber (\( (C_5H_8)_n \))
