The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the statements provided and identify which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that "polyethylene contains double bonds." - Polyethylene is a polymer made from the monomer ethylene (C2H4), which does contain a double bond. However, when ethylene polymerizes to form polyethylene, the double bonds are broken, and the resulting polymer consists of long chains of carbon atoms connected by single bonds. - **Conclusion**: This statement is incorrect because polyethylene does not contain double bonds. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement claims that "the monomer used to make Teflon is C2F7." - Teflon, also known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is made from the monomer tetrafluoroethylene (C2F4), not C2F7. - **Conclusion**: This statement is also incorrect, as the correct monomer is C2F4. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - The statement mentions "condensation polymerization is also known as step-growth polymerization." - Condensation polymerization involves the stepwise reaction between monomers, often producing small molecules (like water) as byproducts. This process can be referred to as step-growth polymerization. - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - The statement claims "the denatured protein could have the same primary structure as the active protein." - Denaturation of proteins typically disrupts secondary and tertiary structures but does not affect the primary structure (the sequence of amino acids). - **Conclusion**: This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion: - The incorrect statement is **Statement A**, as polyethylene does not contain double bonds.
