      Question

      Bakelite is a polymer which is used in the manufacturing

      of buckets and electrical switches. What are the monomers of bakelite?
      A Phenol and formaldehyde Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1, 3 butadiene and styrene Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Ethylene glycol and terephtalic acid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Chloroprene Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A polymer is formed from monomer units. Bakelite is a polymer formed from phenol and formaldehyde (which are monomers). Bakelite is an early plastic. It is a thermosetting polymer (thermosetting plastics remain in a permanent solid state once hardened) formed from condensation of phenol and formaldehyde. Neoprene is the polymer of chloroprene. Polyethylene terephthalate is the polymer of ethylene glycol and terephtalic acid. Buna โ€“S is the polymer of 1, 3 buta diene ad styrene. Hence, option A is correct.ย
