The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. **Assertion (A): Polypropylene is an addition polymer.** **Reason (R): Addition polymerization occurs among molecules which contain double bonds.** ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Polypropylene**: - Polypropylene is a type of plastic that is made from the polymerization of propylene monomers. - The chemical structure of propylene is CH2=CH-CH3, which contains a double bond between the first two carbon atoms. 2. **Defining Addition Polymerization**: - Addition polymerization is a process where unsaturated monomers (those containing double or triple bonds) react to form a polymer without the loss of any small molecules (like water or methanol). - This process involves the breaking of the double bonds in the monomers, allowing them to link together to form long chains. 3. **Analyzing the Assertion**: - Since polypropylene is formed from the polymerization of propylene, and propylene contains a double bond, we can conclude that polypropylene is indeed an addition polymer. - Therefore, the assertion that "Polypropylene is an addition polymer" is **true**. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: - The reason states that "Addition polymerization occurs among molecules which contain double bonds." - This is also true, as addition polymerization specifically requires unsaturated monomers (those with double or triple bonds) to initiate the polymerization process. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
