Question:

Which of the following is not a co-polymer?

Show Hint

A co-polymer is made from two or more different monomers. Neoprene is formed from chloroprene only, so it is not a co-polymer.
  • Buna-S rubber
  • Neoprene rubber
  • Bakelite
  • Urea--Formaldehyde

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A co-polymer is formed by polymerization of two or more different monomers. Buna-S rubber is a co-polymer of butadiene and styrene. Bakelite is formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Urea-formaldehyde resin is formed from urea and formaldehyde. But neoprene rubber is formed by polymerization of a single monomer called chloroprene. Since neoprene is formed from only one type of monomer, it is not a co-polymer. Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \text{Neoprene rubber}. \]
