Q97 / 200 · NEET 2022 (Phase 2) · Chemistry

Which among the following is a thermoplastic polymer ?

  • A
    Bakelite
  • Correct answer
    B
    Polythene
  • C
    Urea-formaldehyde resin
  • D
    Melamine 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'.
