Identify the type of polymer.
(i) –A –A –A– A– A– A-
(ii) –A –B–B–A–A–A–B–A-
A
(i) Homopolymer , (ii) Copolymer
B
(i) Natural polymer , (ii) Synthetic polymer
C
(i) Linear polymer , (ii) Branched polymer
D
(i) Fibre, (ii) Elastomer
Answer
(i) Homopolymer , (ii) Copolymer
Explanation
Solution
Addition polymers formed by polymerization of a single monomeric species are called homopolymers. When polymerizations takes place between the two different bifunctional momomeric units then are known as copolymers.
