Bakelite is obtained from:
Correct answer: D. Phenol and formaldehyde
- A. Adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine
- B. Dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol
- C. Neoprene
- D. Phenol and formaldehyde
Explanation
Bakelite is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde. It was one of the first synthetic plastics ever made and is known for its non-conductivity and heat-resistant properties. The other options describe raw materials used for different polymer productions: Nylon from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, PET from dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol, and Neoprene is itself a polymer, not a raw material for another polymer like Bakelite.

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.
