The process of polymerization was classified by___________________?
Correct answer: D. W. H. Carothers
- A. Strecker
- B. Sabatier
- C. Runge
- D. W. H. Carothers
Explanation
W. H. Carothers classified polymerization into addition polymerization and condensation polymerization, based on how monomers join and whether small molecules are eliminated. Strecker and Sabatier are associated with other chemical discoveries, so choosing either reflects confusion between named chemists and polymer classification.

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.
