Q49 / 150 · MHT CET 2026 (13 April Shift 2) · Chemistry

Identify the polymer obtained by addition polymerization method from following.

  • A
    Nylon 6
  • B
    Dacron
  • Correct answer
    C
    Polythene
  • D
    Nylon 6,6

Solution

Addition polymerization involves the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing double or triple bonds to form a polymer without the elimination of any small molecules.

Polythene is formed by the addition polymerization of ethene ($CH_2=CH_2$) molecules.

Nylon 6, Dacron, and Nylon 6,6 are formed by condensation polymerization, which involves the elimination of small molecules like water.

Answer: Polythene

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
