Match List-I with List-II:
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (A) Buna-S | (I) Vinyl chloride |
| (B) Neoprene | (II) 1,3-Butadiene and styrene |
| (C) PVC | (III) Tetra fluoroethene |
| (D) Teflon | (IV) Chloroprene |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct Answer :
(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(1), (D)-(III)
Solution :
The correct option is (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III).
To understand why this match is correct, let's look at each polymer listed in List-I and identify its corresponding monomer(s) from List-II:
(A) Buna-S:
Buna-S is a synthetic copolymer. The name "Buna-S" is derived from its constituents: Butadiene, Na (sodium, which acts as the catalyst for polymerization), and Styrene. Therefore, the monomers of Buna-S are 1,3-butadiene and styrene.
This matches with (II).
(B) Neoprene:
Neoprene (also known as polychloroprene) is a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene). Therefore, the monomer of Neoprene is chloroprene.
This matches with (IV).
(C) PVC:
PVC stands for Polyvinyl chloride. It is an addition polymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer units.
This matches with (I).
(D) Teflon:
Teflon is the brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is prepared by heating tetrafluoroethene with a free radical or persulphate catalyst at high pressures. Thus, the monomer of Teflon is tetrafluoroethene.
This matches with (III).
By putting these matches together, we get:
(A) - (II)
(B) - (IV)
(C) - (I)
(D) - (III)
