Question

Which of the following polymers is not correctly matched?

• A. Formation of dacron - Step growth polymerisation
• B. Formation of polytetrafluoroethene - Step growth polymerisation
• C. Formation of polythene- Chain growth polymerisation in presence of benzoyl peroxide
• D. Formation of polyacryionitrile - Chain growth polymerition in presence of peroxide

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Polytetrafluoroethene (teflon) is a chain growth polymer formed by polymerisation of tetrafluoroethene in presence of persulphate catalyst.
