The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the given polymers are condensation polymers, we need to analyze each polymer and identify whether it is formed through condensation or addition polymerization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Polymers**: The polymers provided are: - Nylon 6,6 - Dacron - Bakelite - Teflon - Buna-N - Nylon 6 - Glyptal - Polythene 2. **Define Condensation Polymers**: Condensation polymers are formed by the reaction of monomers with the elimination of small molecules such as water (H2O) or methanol (CH3OH). 3. **Analyze Each Polymer**: - **Nylon 6,6**: Formed from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid with the elimination of water. **(Condensation Polymer)** - **Dacron**: Formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the elimination of water. **(Condensation Polymer)** - **Bakelite**: Formed from phenol and formaldehyde with the elimination of water. **(Condensation Polymer)** - **Teflon**: Formed from tetrafluoroethylene through addition polymerization. **(Not a Condensation Polymer)** - **Buna-N**: Formed from acrylonitrile and butadiene through addition polymerization. **(Not a Condensation Polymer)** - **Nylon 6**: Formed from caprolactam with the elimination of water. **(Condensation Polymer)** - **Glyptal**: Formed from ethylene glycol and phthalic acid with the elimination of water. **(Condensation Polymer)** - **Polythene**: Formed from ethylene through addition polymerization. **(Not a Condensation Polymer)** 4. **Count the Condensation Polymers**: - The condensation polymers identified are: - Nylon 6,6 - Dacron - Bakelite - Nylon 6 - Glyptal - Total = 5 condensation polymers. ### Final Answer: There are **5 condensation polymers** among the given list. ---
