A plastic milk jug is made up of polyethylene. Ethylene is a gas at room temperature but plastic milk jug is solid because C=C bonds are present in polyethylene. branching of carbon chain occurs in polyethylene. very strong London dispersion forces are present in polyethylene. very strong hydrogen bonding interactions are present in polyethylene. Which of the following is(are) true statement(s) about addition polymers? Addition polymers are formed by a reaction in which monomer units simply add to one another to form a long-chain polymer. Polystyrene is one of the examples of an addition polymer. Monomer units in an addition polymer usually contain carbon-carbon double bonds. Nylon is one of the examples of an addition polymer. All of the above Which of the following is(are) true statement(s) about condensation polymers? Polyethylene is an example of condensation polymer. Condensation polymers are formed from monomers containing two different functional groups. Con

Explanation / Answer

1) C (No double bonds in polyethylene, not all PE has branching, and no hydrogren bonding)

2) All of the Above

3) D (condensation polymers lose a small molecule)

4) Phthalic anhydride plus ethylene glycol yields linear polyester (see attached image)

5) Phthalic anhydride plus glycerol yieldsa branched thermoset, also known as a glyptal resin (see attached image)

6) A, C, E

7) D
