Q96 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Chemistry

Structures of some common polymers are given. Which one is not correctly presented ?

  • A
    Teflon $\left(\mathrm{CF}_2-\mathrm{CF}_2-\right)_{\mathrm{n}}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    Neoprene Figure
  • C
    Terylene Figure
  • D
    Nylon 66 $\left[\mathrm{NH}\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_6 \mathrm{NHCO}\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4-\mathrm{CO}-\right]_{\mathrm{n}}$

Solution

(a) Teflon is a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene. (b) Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene (2-chloro buta-1, 3-diene). Figure
(c) Terylene is a polymer of terepthalic acid and ethylene glycol.Figure
Figure
(d) Nylon-66 is a polymer of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid. $$ \mathrm{nH}_2 \mathrm{~N}\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_6 \mathrm{NH}_2+\mathrm{nHOOC}-\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_4 \mathrm{COOH} $$Figure

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