Match following coloumn:

PolymerMonomer
(i) Buna-S(P) Styrene
(ii) ethylene glycol(Q) terylene
(iii) elastomer(R) chloroprene
A

(i) - (P) (ii) - (Q) (iii) - (R)

B

(i) - (R) (ii) - (P) (iii) - (Q)

C

(i) - (Q) (ii) - (R) (iii) - (P)

D

(i) - (P) (ii) - (R) (iii) - (Q)

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A is correct because Buna-S is indeed a copolymer made from the monomers 1,3-butadiene and styrene, which are used to create synthetic rubber. However, Terylene is actually a polyester formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, not just "terephthalic acid," making option B incorrect. Option C is misleading as it states that chloroprene is the sole monomer for elastomers; while chloroprene is used to make neoprene, not all elastomers are derived solely from it. Thus, only the description of Buna-S in option A is fully accurate.
