A
sulphur
B
styrene
C

102.
The mass average molecular mass & number average molecular mass of a polymer are 40,000 and 30,000 respectively. The polydispersity index of polymer will be
A
< 1
B
> 1
C
1
D
0
Answer :
> 1
Average number molecular weight $${{\bar M}_n} = 30,00$$
Average mass molecular weight $${{\bar M}_w} = 40,00$$
Polydispersity index $$\left( {PDI} \right) = \frac{{{{\bar M}_w}}}{{{{\bar M}_n}}} = \frac{{40,000}}{{30,000}} = 1.33$$
103.
Which of the following is not true about high density polythene?
A
Tough
B
Hard
C
Inert
D
Highly branched
Answer :
Highly branched
High density polymer is not branched. It is made up of linear molecules which are closely packed.
104.
Which of the following is not a biopolymer ?
A
Proteins
B
Rubber
C
Cellulose
D
RNA
Answer :
Rubber
Since proteins, cellulose and $$RNA$$ control various activities of plants and animals, they are called biopolymers. They are found in living organisms.
105.
Which is a polymer of three different monomers ?
A
$$ABS$$
B
$$SBR$$
C
$$NBR$$
D
$${\text{Nylon - 2, 6}}$$
Answer :
$$ABS$$
$$ABS$$ is acrylonitrile-butadiene - styrene rubber which is obtained by copolymerisation of acrylonitrile, 1, 3 - butadiene and styrene.
106.

B
it is chemically inert, tough, flexible and poor conductor of electricity
C
it is very tough, good conductor of electricity and flexible
D
it is chemically inert, very soft, water absorbent and poor conductor of heat
Answer :
it is chemically inert, tough, flexible and poor conductor of electricity
No explanation is given for this question. Let's discuss the answer together.

109.
Among cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, nylon and natural rubber, the polymer in which the intermolecular force of attraction is weakest is
A
Nylon
B
Polyvinyl chloride
C
Cellulose
D
Natural Rubber
Answer :
Natural Rubber
Nylon and cellulose, both have intermolecular hydrogen bonding, polyvinyl chloride has dipole-dipole interaction, while natural rubber has van der Waal forces which are weakest.
