Question

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
  1. Nylon clothings can with stand high temperature and are, therefore, good to wear in summers.
  2. Thermosetting plastics do not become soft on heating.
  3. Addition polymers are formed without the elimination of byproduct molecules.
  4. Natural rubber is obtained as latex from rubber trees.

A

B
Thermosetting plastics do not become soft on heating.
C
Addition polymers are formed without the elimination of byproduct molecules.
D

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Nylon clothes when subjected to high-temperature results in a chemical change, that cannot be reversed. nylon clothes can easily catch fire. Therefore, it is not good wear for summers.

Thermosetting plastics once cured cannot be reversed and becomes permanently rigid solid.

Addition polymers are formed by linking of monomers no by-product is eliminated.

The latex extracted from the rubber trees is treated to obtain natural rubber.

Hence, option A is correct.
