Question: Example of condensation polymer is
Options:
A) Formaldehyde $ \to $ meta-formaldehyde
B) Acetaldehyde $ \to $ para-aldehyde
C) Acetone $ \to $ mesityl oxide
D) Ethene $ \to $ polyethene
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] Polymers formed by condensation process with elimination of small molecule like $ H_2O,CO_2 $ etc. are known as condensation polymers. $ Eg\text{.}\underset{Acetone}{\mathop{ _{CH_3}^{CH_3} _{/}^{\backslash }C=O+H_2CH}}-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_3\xrightarrow[HCl]{dil.}\underset{Mesityloxide}{\mathop{ _{CH_3}^{CH_3} _{/}^{\backslash }C=CH-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}}}-CH_3+H_2O}} $
