Which of the following monomers can undergo step-growth polymerization?
A
Ethylene
B
Styrene
C
Glycol and Terephthalic acid
D
Vinyl chloride
correct option: c
Step-growth polymerization involves the reaction of bifunctional or multifunctional monomers that have two or more active sites. Glycol and terephthalic acid are bifunctional monomers, and their reaction results in the formation of a polyester polymer, like polyethene terephthalate (PET).
