Match the polymers given in Column I with their repeating units given in Column II.


(i) Acrilan – (d)


Acrilan is commonly known as Polyacrylonitrile(PAN) and the structure given in (d) is PAN. It is an addition polymer.


(ii) Polystyrene – (a)


As we know the structure of styrene



We can resemble to the compound provided in (a) that it is polystyrene as it is a product of addition polymerisation.


(iii) Neoprene – (b)


Neoprene is formed by the free radical polymerisation of chloroprene(2-chloro-1,3-butadiene)



The Polymer thus produced is neoprene which is (b).


(iv) Novolac – (e)


Novolac is prepared from phenol(C6H5OH) and formaldehyde(HCHO). It is thus known as phenol-formaldehyde resin commonly as Bakelite.



(v) Buna-S – (c)


Buna-S is prepared from two monomers, 1,3-butadiene() and Styrene().
