Match List I with List II

List I

List II
(Type)
A2-chloro-1, 3-butadieneIBiodegradable polymer
BNylon 2-nylon 6IISynthetic Rubber
CPolyacrylonitrileIIIPolyester
DDacronIVAddition Polymer


Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Polymers are classified into categories based on their chemical composition, properties, mechanisms of formation, and environmental degradability.

Step-by-Step Matching Analysis:

A. 2-chloro-1, 3-butadiene → II (Synthetic Rubber)

Reason: 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene is commonly known as chloroprene. Upon polymerization, it yields polychloroprene, commercially referred to as Neoprene, which is a prominent example of an elastomer or synthetic rubber.
$$\text{}$$

B. Nylon 2-nylon 6 → I (Biodegradable polymer)

Reason: Nylon 2-nylon 6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer synthesized from glycine and aminocaproic acid. It contains linkages that environmental microorganisms can easily digest, classifying it as a well-known biodegradable polymer.
$$\text{}$$

C. Polyacrylonitrile → IV (Addition Polymer)

Reason: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) forms via the peroxide-catalyzed chain-growth polymerization of acrylonitrile monomers without losing any small molecular byproducts. This characterizes it strictly as an addition polymer.
$$\text{}$$

D. Dacron → III (Polyester)

Reason: Dacron (also known as Terylene) is created by the step-growth condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, producing key ester bonds throughout its structural backbone.
$$\text{}$$

Final Order Matching:

A → II,    B → I,    C → IV,    D → III

Correct Option: B [A(II), B(I), C(IV), D(III)]
