Question:easy

Which from following polymers is obtained by condensation polymerization method?

Show Hint

Dacron forms from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol with loss of water or methanol.

  • Polythene
  • Polyacrylonitrile
  • Teflon
  • Dacron
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Test for condensation:
Look for two functional groups per monomer and loss of a small molecule when the chain grows.

Step 2: Apply:
Ethylene glycol has two -OH groups and terephthalic acid has two -COOH groups. They form ester links and release water, giving Dacron, a polyester.

Step 3: Others:
Ethene, acrylonitrile and tetrafluoroethene each have a single C=C and add on to each other without by-products, so they are addition polymers.

Final Answer:
Dacron, option (D). \[ \boxed{\text{Dacron (D)}} \]
