Question

See the figure given below and select the correct statements regarding plastics.

(i). Figure (a) shows the structure of a monomer, while figure (b) shows the structure of a polymer.
(ii). Figure (a) shows the structure of a linear polymer, while (b) shows the structure of a cross-linked polymer.
(iii).Small blocks in the structure represent monomers that are joined to give a polymer.

  1. Only (i) and (ii)
  2. Only (ii) and (iii)
  3. Only (i) and (iii)
  4. Only (ii) 

hintHint:

Plastics are made-up of small building blocks of molecules in a linear or cross linked fashion.

The correct answer is: Only (ii) and (iii)


    • Plastics are polymers made up of multiple monomers.
    • These monomers can be structured in a linear way or a cross linked way as shown in the figures.
