The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Buna-S is a copolymer." - A copolymer is defined as a polymer that is made from two or more different types of monomer units. 2. **Identifying the Components of Buna-S**: - Buna-S is made from two monomers: Buta-1,3-diene and Styrene. - Buta-1,3-diene has the structure: CH2=CH-CH=CH2. - Styrene has the structure: C6H5-CH=CH2. 3. **Polymerization Process**: - The polymerization of Buna-S occurs through a process known as addition polymerization. - In this process, the double bonds in the monomers open up and link together to form a long chain polymer. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: - The reason provided states that "Buna-S is formed by a condensation reaction between two different monomers." - This statement is incorrect because Buna-S is formed through addition polymerization, not condensation polymerization. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true (Buna-S is a copolymer). - The reason is false (Buna-S is not formed by a condensation reaction). - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: False - **Correct Option**: Assertion is true, but the reason is false (Option C).
