Question

Teflon, Styron and neoprene are all _______________.
A.Co-polymers
B.Monomers
C.Homopolymers
D.Condensation polymers

Answer 1

Polymers are materials made of long repeating chains of molecules. These materials have unique properties depending upon the type of molecules that are bonded together to form the chains.

Complete answer:
A copolymer is one that is derived from more than one species of monomer and the process of formation of the co-polymers is called co-polymerization. These polymers are also called bio-polymers. Monomers are the units of the polymers that are joined together to form the polymers. Homopolymers are the polymers in which the monomers of the chain are the same. Condensation polymers are the ones that are formed through the joining of monomers through condensation reactions in which simple molecules such as water, ammonia, etc. are released as the by-products.
Teflon is formed from the joining or the addition of large number of tetrafluoroethylene units in which only one unit is repeated, Styron or polystyrene is formed by the repetition of styrene units and neoprene which is also called polychloroprene is a family of synthetic rubbers which are formed by the repetition of the chloroprene units. As all the molecules are formed by the repetition of simple monomeric units so all the polymers are homopolymers.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Note:
The polymers are handy materials that are used for a large number of applications. They are used to make different household items such as buckets, plastic mugs, storage containers, etc. they are also used to make pipes to carry water, electronic devices, spare parts, and a lot of other applications.
