Question

Match List I with List II

	List I (polymer)		List-II (Nature)
A.		I.	Thermosetting polymer
B.		II.	Fibers
C.		III.	Elastomer
D.		IV.	Thermoplastic polymer

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
• B. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's match the polymers in List I with their nature in List II by examining their structures:

1. Structure A: 
   This structure is of neoprene, which is an elastomer. Elastomers are polymers that exhibit elastic properties, meaning they can stretch and return to their original shape.
2. Structure B:
   This structure represents nylon-6,6, which is a type of fiber. Fibers are characterized by their thread-like nature and are used in textiles.
3. Structure C:
   This is the structure of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), which is a thermoplastic polymer. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped.
4. Structure D:
   This structure is of Bakelite, a well-known thermosetting polymer. Thermosetting polymers harden when heated and cannot be remolded.

Based on the analysis above, the correct matching is:

• A-III (Elastomer)
• B-II (Fibers)
• C-IV (Thermoplastic polymer)
• D-I (Thermosetting polymer)

Thus, the correct answer is A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I.
