Class 12 Chemistry Polymers MCQs with Answer

Q1. Which of the following polymers can have strong intermolecular forces?

  1. Nylon.
  2. Polystyrene.
  3. Rubber.
  4. Polyesters.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 1. Nylon.

  1. Polyesters.
    Explanation:
    Polyamides: These polymers possessing amide linkages are important examples of synthetic fibres and are termed as nylons.
    Polyesters: These are the polycondensation products of dicarboxylic acids and diols. Dacron or terylene is the best-known example of
    polyesters

Q7. Which of the folloiwng are characteristics of thermosetting polymers?

  1. Heavily branched cross linked polymers.
  2. Linear slightly branched long chain molecules.
  3. Become infusible on moulding so cannot be reused.
  4. Soften on heating and harden on cooling, can be reused.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 1. Heavily branched cross linked polymers.

  1. Become infusible on moulding so cannot be reused.
    Explanation:
    Thermosetting polymers: These polymers are cross linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating undergo extensive cross
    linking in moulds and again become infusible. These cannot be reused.

Q10. Which of the following polymers are condensation polymers?

  1. Bakelite.
  2. Teflon.
  3. Butyl rubber.
  4. Melamine formaldehyde resin.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 1. Bakelite

  1. Melamine formaldehyde resin.
    Explanation:
    Bakelite is a condensation polymer of phenol and formaldehyde. Melamine formaldehyde resin is a condensation polymer of
    melamine (2, 4, 6-triamino-1, 3, 5-triazine) and formaldehyde.

Q14. Vulcanisation makes rubber __.

  1. More elastic.
  2. Soluble in inorganic solvent.
  3. Crystalline.
  4. More stiff.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 1. More elastic.

  1. More stiff.
    Explanation:
    To improve upon physical properties of natural rubber a process of vulcanisation is carried out. This process consists of heating a
    mixture of raw rubber with sulphur and an appropriate additive at a temperature range between 373K to 415K. On vulcanisation,
    sulphur forms cross links at the reactive sites of double bonds and thus the rubber gets stiffened.

Q15. Which of the following polymers are used as fibre?

  1. Polytetrafluoroethane.
  2. Polychloroprene.
  3. Nylon.
  4. Terylene.
Click To View The Answer

Ans: 3. Nylon.

  1. Terylene.
    Explanation:
    Fibres are the thread forming solids which possess high tensile strength and high modulus. These characteristics can be attributed to
    the strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding. These strong forces also lead to close packing of chains and thus impart
    crystalline nature. The examples are polyamides (nylon 6, 6), polyesters (terylene), etc.
