The correct option is [B].

Which of the following is not a natural polymer?

chemistry animal fibre synthetic fibres & their characteristics processing of fibres synthetic fibres and its types

  1. Starch

  2. Nucleic acid

  3. Polystyrene

  4. Protein

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Polystyrene is made of styrene monomer which is a synthetic polymer. The monomer is a liquid petrochemical.

Polystyrene are used in making CD, jewel cases, expanded polystyrene (EPS) Foam products from Foam cups to Foam coolers, etc.

The naturally occurring polymer among the following is:

chemistry animal fibre synthetic fibres & their characteristics processing of fibres synthetic fibres and its types

  1. Rayon

  2. Nylon - $6$

  3. Decron

  4. Proteins

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

NATURAL  POLYMER  -  The polymers found in nature, i.e., from plants & animals are known as natural polymers.
RAYON - Rayon is classified as semisynthetic polymer, as it is manufactured from naturally occuring polymers. It is purified from cellulose.
NYLON - $6$  -  Nylon - $6$ is a synthetic polymer, obtained by heating caprolactum with water at high temp.
DACRON  -  It is also a synthetic polymer. It is formed by interaction of ethylene glycol & terephthalic acid.
PROTEINS  -  Proteins are large macromolecules, containing one or more chains of amino acids. They are held together by peptide bonds. Amino acids are found in living organisms. Hence, they are natural polymer.

Cellulose is a polymer of:

  1. $\alpha -$ galactose

  2. $\alpha -$ glucose

  3. $\beta -$ galactose

  4. $\beta-$glucose

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cellulose is an organic compound consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to over ten thousand $\beta$ (1 $\rightarrow$4) linked $D - glucose$ units.

The S in Buna- S refers to:

chemistry animal fibre synthetic fibres & their characteristics processing of fibres synthetic fibres and its types

  1. sulphur

  2. styrene

  3. sodium

  4. just a trade name

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The S in Buna- S refers to styrene. Buna stands for butadiene and Na for sodium.
Buna-S refers to styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). It is copolymer of buta-1,3-diene and styrene in the ratio of 3:1 in the presence of sodium.
