A polymer formed by combining three different monomers is called
Correct answer: D. Terpolymer
- A. Copolymer
- B. Styrene
- C. Homopolymer
- D. Terpolymer
Explanation
The correct answer is Terpolymer. A terpolymer is a type of copolymer that is formed when three different monomers are combined. This is in contrast to a homopolymer, which is made from a single type of monomer, and a copolymer, which typically involves two different monomers. Styrene is actually a specific type of monomer used to make polymers, such as polystyrene, not a category of polymer itself.

About Industrial Chemistry
Industrial chemistry applies chemical reactions and material properties to the manufacture of adhesives, dyes and polymers. Coverage includes addition and condensation polymerisation, thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers, the structural basis of colour in dyes, and how adhesive composition enables bonding between surfaces.
