MCQ
Which one of the following polymer is prepared by condensation polymerization?
  • A
    Polystyrene
  • Nylon$ - 6, 6$
  • C
    Teflon
  • D
    Rubber

Answer

Correct option: B.
Nylon$ - 6, 6$
Condensation polymers are formed through a condensation reaction, where molecules join together, losing small molecules as byproducts. For e.g., Nylon$ - 6, 6$ is formed by condensation polymerization of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine.
Whereas Polystyrene, Teflon and Rubber all are formed by chain$-$growth polymerization of monomers styrene, tetrafluoroethylene and isoprene respectively.
Here, an unsaturated monomer molecule adds to the active site of a growing polymeric chain one at a time.
