Single Choice

The basis on the mode of their formation, the polymers can be classified:

AAs addition polymers only
BAs condensation polymers only
CAs copolymers
DBoth as addition and condensation polymers
Correct Answer

Solution

On the basis of the mode of their formation or polymerisation, the polymers can be classified as addition polymers and condensation polymers.
Addition polymers are formed by reactions between monomer molecules having multiple bonds. Examples- polyethene.
Condensation polymers are formed by condensation between monomeric units with the elimination of small molecules such as water, ammonia, alcohol, etc. Examples- Nylon-6,6.
Hence, option $$D$$ is correct.
