The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statement about Bakelite, we will evaluate each option provided: 1. **Option (a): It is formed by phenol and formaldehyde.** - Bakelite is indeed synthesized from the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. This is a well-known fact in polymer chemistry. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Option (b): It is a crosslinked polymer.** - Bakelite is a type of thermosetting plastic that is formed through a crosslinking process during its polymerization. This means that the polymer chains are interconnected, which gives Bakelite its strength and durability. Thus, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Option (c): It is a thermosetting plastic.** - Bakelite is classified as a thermosetting plastic because, once it is set into a shape through heat and pressure, it cannot be remolded or melted again. This characteristic is a defining feature of thermosetting plastics. Therefore, this statement is **correct** as well. 4. **Option (d): It is a natural polymer.** - Bakelite is a synthetic polymer, not a natural one. Natural polymers are derived from natural sources (like cellulose, proteins, etc.), while Bakelite is man-made. Hence, this statement is **incorrect**. Now, summarizing the evaluations: - Options (a), (b), and (c) are correct statements about Bakelite. - Option (d) is incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is that options (a), (b), and (c) are correct, which corresponds to option **B**. ### Final Answer: The correct statement for Bakelite is option **B** (A, B, and C are correct).
