Q:

What are the factors of solution polymerisation?

A) Nature of solvent B) Concentration
C) Temperature D) All of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the mentioned

Explanation: Thus the nature of the solvent and the concentration of the monomer are the determining factors for the progress of the polymerization at a certain temperature, which progress, however, never reaches the speed of a bulk polymerization.

Q:

What is the disadvantage of bulk polymerization?

A) High temperature B) Heat control
C) Need catalyst D) All of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Heat control

Explanation: The disadvantage of a continuous and elaborate heat control, which is necessary in bulk polymerization, is completely overcome if the monomers are dissolved in suitable solvents and the polymerizations carried out in solution.

Q:

Bulk polymerization requires which type of monomer?

A) Gaseous B) Liquid
C) Both gaseous and liquid D) None of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both gaseous and liquid

Explanation: Bulk (Mass) Polymerization. This type of polymerization is accomplished by subjecting the liquid or gaseous monomer to polymerizing conditions.

Which of the following is an active center in initiating systems?

A) Free radicals B) Carbonium ions
C) Carbanions D) All of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the mentioned

Explanation: Initiators, or initiating systems, generate three distinct types of active centers and unstable intermediates: (1), free radicals, (2), carbonium ions, (3), carbanions.

Q:

The ease of polymerization increases with the amount of unsaturation.

A) True B) False
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) True

Explanation: The ease of polymerization increases with the amount of unsaturation and that conjugation or accumulation of double bonds increases their reactivity.

Q:

The tendency to decrease polymerization can be achieved by what?

A) Steric hindrance B) Resonance stability
C) Steric hindrance & Resonance stability D) None of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Steric hindrance & Resonance stability

Explanation: The tendency to polymerize decreases rapidly, presumably because of steric hindrance or resonance stabilization.

Q:

The energy required to activate the bond is influenced by what?

A) Substituents on the atoms B) Temperature
C) Pressure D) All of the mentioned
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Substituents on the atoms

Explanation: The energy required to activate the bond is influenced by two more factors: (1) the substituents on the atoms which form the multiple bond and (2) the presence of conjugated or cumulated multiple bonds.

Q:

Whether or not an active center can be formed.

A) Yes B) No
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Yes

Explanation: Whether or not an active center can be formed, i.e., whether or not an unsaturated molecule is suitable for addition polymerizations depends on a number of factors. In the first place, the energy necessary to open one of the two links of an aliphatic double bond depends upon the nature of the two atoms that are linked together by it, for instance, C=C or C=O. The electronic configurations of each of these atoms and the distances between them influence the dissociation energy of the double or triple bond.
