Correct answer: C. Methylmethacrylate

  • A. Vinyl chloride
  • B. Styrene
  • C. Methylmethacrylate
  • D. Hexamethylenediamine

Explanation

Methyl methacrylate is the important monomer of acrylic resins and polymerizes to form polymethyl methacrylate. Styrene forms polystyrene, while vinyl chloride forms PVC, so choosing either confuses other common vinyl monomers with the acrylic monomer.

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.
