Question
Which of the following are addition polymers?
(i) Nylon
(ii) Melamine formaldehyde resin
(iii) Orlon
(iv) Polystyrene
Advertisements
Solution
(iii) Orlon
(iv) Polystyrene
Explanation:
The addition polymers are formed by the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing double or triple bonds, e.g., the formation of polythene from ethene and polypropylene from propane. However, the addition polymers formed by the polymerisation of a single monomeric species are known as homopolymers.

Shyam went to a grocery shop to purchase some food items. The shopkeeper packed all the items in polythene bags and gave them to Shyam. But Shyam refused to accept the polythene bags and asked the shopkeeper to pack the items in paper bags. He informed the shopkeeper about the heavy penalty imposed by the government for using polythene bags. The shopkeeper promised that he would use paper bags in future in place of polythene bags.
