Which is not correct about polyvinyl chloride?
Correct answer: B. It is a copolymer
- A. It is used in large scale production of cable insulator
- B. It is a copolymer
- C. It is a homopolymer
- D. It is used in the manufacturing of pipes and other construction materials
Explanation
A homopolymer is a polymer made from only one type of monomer. PVC is synthesized by the polymerization of a single monomer, vinyl chloride. Therefore, it is a homopolymer, not a copolymer.
