8. Give two examples of each (i) linear polymer (ii) Network polymer.
Ans. Linear polymers: Polythene, Polyvinylchloride
Network polymers: Bakelite, Melamine
9. Why is condensation polymerisation also called on step – growth polymerisation?
Ans. Condensation polymerisation produces a distinct functionalized species and is independent of each other. Therefore it is also called step growth polymerisation.
10. Write some examples of condensation polymers.
Ans. Examples of condensation polymers are Nylon-6, 6, Dacron, Nylon 6 etc
11. How is Nylon – 6, 6 different from Nylon -6?
Ans. Nylon – 6, 6 is made of two bifunctional monomers, each having 6 carbon atoms whereas Nylon – 6 is made from heating only one monomer having 6 carbon atoms.
12. Give the formula of monomer of Nylon – 6.
Ans. Monomer of Nylon -6 is caprolactum
13. What is copolymerisation?
Ans. The reaction in which a mixture of more than one monomeric species is allowed to polymerise & form a copolymer is called copolymerisation e.g. Buna -S.
14. What is the monomer of natural rubber?
Ans. Monomer of national rubber is isoprene or 2 – methyl – 1, 3 – butadiene.
15. Give two examples of synthetic rubber.
Ans. Example of synthetic rubber – Neoprene, Buna – N etc.
16. Give one example of biodegradable polymer.
Ans. Biodegradable polymer: PHVB, Nylon – 2 – Nylon -6.

21. Explain the difference between Buna-N and Buna-S.
Ans. Buna – N is a copolymer of 1, 3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
Buna – S is a copolymer of 1, 3-butadiene and styrene.
22. Is 
, a homopolymer or copolymer?
Ans. is a homopolymer because it is obtained from a single monomer unit, 
– CHR – COOH.
