Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statement about polymers is not correct?
A
Polyesters are condensation polymers
B
Alkenes and halogenoalkenes can form addition polymers
C
Addition polymers are always made up of two different types of monomer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Statement 1 saying “Thermosetting polymers are reusable” is incorrect as “thermosetting polymers can-not be recycled or used even after heating because they can sustain over a high value of temperature and permanently hardened once set to a shape". Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -Terylene (or dacron) is not an example of addition polymer.

Detailed explanation-3: -A copolymer is a polymer formed when two (or more) different types of monomer are linked in the same polymer chain, as opposed to a homopolymer where only one monomer is used.

Detailed explanation-4: -Copolymers: The polymers made by addition polymerisation from two different monomers are known as copolymers, e.g., Buna-S.
