Q97 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 2) · Chemistry
Which among the following is a thermoplastic polymer ?
- ABakelite
- Correct answerBPolythene
- CUrea-formaldehyde resin
- DMelamine polymer
Solution
Thermoplastic polymer - Those plastics which can be remoulded again and again.
Thermosetting plastics - Those plastics which becomes hard on cooling and permanently sets into a solid.
(1) Bakelite - Thermosetting plastic polymer (A phenol - formaldehyde resin)
(2) Polythene - Thermoplastic polymer.
(3) Urea - formaldehyde resin - A thermosetting plastic polymer.
(4) Melamine polymer - Thermosetting plastic polymer.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
