Which one of the following is an example of a co-polymer?
Correct answer: A. Polyamide
- A. Polyamide
- B. Polystyrene
- C. Polyvinyl acetate
- D. Polyvinyl chloride
Explanation
Copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer.polyamide is the only one that is a copolymer. Polyamide is formed by the condensation polymerization of two different monomers: a diacid and a diamine. Examples of polyamides include Nylon-6,6 (hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid) and Nylon-6 (caprolactam).Polyestrene is a homopolymer derived from the polymerization of a single monomer, styrene.Polyvinyl acetate is also a homopolymer formed from the polymerization of vinyl acetate monomers.Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer formed from the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomers.
