Q. Which one of the following is not a condensation polymer ?

JIPMERJIPMER 2015Polymers

Solution:

Condensation polymers are obtained by bifunctional molecules (monomers) with the elimination of smaller molecules whereas additional polymers are obtained from multiple bond containing monomers. Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene $\left( CH _{2}= C ( Cl )- CH = CH _{2}\right)$ so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.
