Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2009 2009Moderate

Polymerization is a process of producing:

Correct answer: A. High molecular weight compounds from monomers

  • A. High molecular weight compounds from monomers
  • B. Low molecular weight compounds from monomers
  • C. Intermediate molecular weight compound from monomers
  • D. High molecular weight compounds from polymers

Explanation

High molecular weight compounds from monomers: This is the correct option. Polymerization involves the bonding of monomers to form long chains or networks, resulting in high molecular weight polymers. Therefore, the correct option is "High molecular weight compounds from monomers" as polymerization is the process of joining monomers to form larger, high molecular weight polymer molecules.

About Polymers

Polymers are large molecules made from repeating monomer units joined by covalent bonds. The topic distinguishes addition polymers such as polyethylene, PVC and polystyrene from condensation polymers such as nylon and polyester, and relates chain structure to thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, properties, uses and environmental concerns.
