Question

Teflon is an example of polymer which is a/an (A) polyamide (B) addition polymer (C) polyester (D) formaldehyde resin

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Teflon is prepared by the combination of a large number of tetrafluoroethylene molecules, without the elimination of any small molecule. Therefore, it is an example of addition homopolymer.

n C F_{2} = C F_{2} ⟶ tC F_{2} - C F_{2} - n

Q. Teflon is an example of polymer which is a/an

polyamide

addition polymer

polyester

formaldehyde resin

Teflon is prepared by the combination of a large number of tetrafluoroethylene molecules, without the elimination of any small molecule. Therefore, it is an example of addition homopolymer. nCF2​=CF2​⟶tCF2​−CF2​−n
