  1. Question 1

    In condensation polymerisation each time a new bond forms:

    • ANo small molecule is lost
    • BThe C=C bond opens
    • CA small molecule is eliminated
    • DA free radical forms
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    A small molecule such as water is eliminated.

  2. Question 2

    Which small molecule may be eliminated in condensation polymerisation?

    • AH2O
    • BH2
    • CO2
    • DN2
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The small molecule may be H2O or HCl or CH3OH or NH3.

  3. Question 3

    Monomers for condensation polymerisation must have:

    • AA C=C bond
    • BA C≡C bond
    • COnly one functional group
    • DAt least two reactive functional groups
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The groups are on different ends of the monomers.

  4. Question 4

    Condensation polymerisation typically proceeds:

    • AStep by step with small molecules as by-products
    • BAs a rapid chain reaction
    • CWithout by-products
    • DOnly through free radicals
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Small molecules are always produced.

  5. Question 5

    Which functional groups can react in condensation polymerisation?

    • A-CH3 and -CH3
    • BC=C and C=C
    • C-Cl and -CH3
    • D-OH and -COOH
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The -OH and -COOH groups form an ester link.
