Question

Which of the following is not a basis of classification of polymers ?

• A. Source
• B. Number of monomers
• C. Method of preparation
• D. Structure

Hint:

Polymers are classified by source, structure, mode of polymerisation and intermolecular forces.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: List the standard bases:
Source, structure, mode of polymerisation (method of preparation), and intermolecular forces.

Step 2: Compare:
Options (A), (C), (D) match these. Option (B) does not.

Step 3: Result:
Option (B).

Final Answer:
Number of monomers is not a basis. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }\text{Number of monomers}} \]
