Solution

The correct option is D

Polystyrene


Option (A)

Acrilan or Orlon is made from monomer Acrylonitrile


  • Its monomer Acrylonitrile is vinylic since it has, cyanide functional group to C=C bond.

Option (B)

Polystyrene is obtained by polymerization of styrene monomer.

  • Structure of styrene monomer:
  • Hence, it is also a vinylic monomer.

Option (C)

  • Nylon polymer like Nylon 6,6 and Nylon 6 are polyamide polymers and none of them have any vinylic monomer

Option (D)

  • Teflon is made from monomer Tetrafluoroethene, whole structure is CF2=CF2
  • It also has fluoride functional group attached to C=C bond, therefore it is also a vinylic

Therefore, the correct options are (A), (B) and (D).
