Unit 15 Polymers Class 12 Chemistry Assignment

 

1. Polymer: GIST

It is a very large molecule having molecular mass 103 - 107 g mol-1. They are formed by joining together repeating structural units.
 
2. Classification of Polymers:

(a) Based On Source:

(i) Natural: Found in plants and animals, e.g. Proteins, cellulose, natural rubber, silk, wool.
 
(ii) Synthetic: Man-made e.g. Nylon, polyster, neoprene, Bakelite, Teflon, PVC, polystyrene.
 
(b) Based On Structure:

(i) Linear Polymers: this consist of long and straight chain repeating units e.g. Polythene (HDPE), PVC,nylon, polyester.
 
(ii) Branched Polymers: This contain linear chains having some branches e.g. amylopectin, glycogen etc.
 
(iii) Cross Linked Polymers: Strong covalent bonds are present between various linear polymer chains. E.g. Bakelite, urea- formaldehyde polymer, melamine, formaldehyde polymer etc.
 
(c) Based On Mode Of Polymerization:

(i) Addition Polymers: These are formed by the repeated addition of monomer molecules possessing multiple bonds, e.g., polythene, polypropene, polystyrene, PMMA (polymethyl metha crylate)
 
(ii) Condensation Polymers: These are formed by the repeated condensation reaction of different bifunctional or trifunctional monomers, with the elimination of small molecules like water,HCL,NH3,alcohol etc. e.g. Bakelite,nylon,polyster,urea- formaldehyde resin.
 
(d) Based On Molecular Forces:

(i) Elastomers: Forces of interaction between polymer chains is weakest, e.g. natural rubber, neoprene,vulcanized rubber.
 
(ii) Fibers: Strong hydrogen bonds are present between the polymer chains. They have high tensile strength e.g., nylon.polyster, silk, wool, orlon, rayon etc.
 
(iii) Thermoplastics: They are linear/slightly branched chains molecules capable of repeated softening on heating and hardening on cooling,e.g., polythene,PVC, polystrene, polypropene.
 
(iv) Thermosetting Plastics: They are cross-linked or heavily branched molecules, which on heating undergo extensive cross-linkages and become infusible, e.g., bakelite,urea formaldehyde resin.
 
 (e) Based On Growth Of Polymerization: Depending upon the mechanism of Polymerization, polymers are classified as

(i) Addition Polymers Or Chain Growth Polymers: They follow mostly free radical mechanism.

(ii) Condensation Polymers or Step Growth Polymers because they are formed in gradual steps.
