Question

Select the incorrect statement from the following options.

(a) When in form ready for further working, polymers are called resins

(b) The chemical process leading to the formation of polymer is known as polymerisation

(c) The number of monomeric units contained in the polymer is called the degree of polymerisation

(d) Due to their small size, polymers are also called micro-molecules

This question was posed to me in unit test.

Enquiry is from Polymer Classification topic in division Polymers of Engineering Chemistry I

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Due to their small size, polymers are also called micro-molecules

The best explanation: Due to their large size, polymers are also called macro-molecules. All the other options are correct. When in form ready for further working, polymers are called resins. The chemical process leading to the formation of polymer is known as polymerisation and the number of monomeric units contained in polymer is called degree of polymerisation.
