Select the correct option to match the Polymer to its most suitable Monomer(s) from the table given below:

Table. Polymers: P poly(p-phenylene sulfide), Q poly(ether sulfone), R poly(ether ether ketone), S polycarbonate. Monomers: I phosgene plus bisphenol A; II sodium sulfide plus p-dichlorobenzene; III 4,4-difluorobenzophenone plus hydroquinone; IV 4-chloro-4-hydroxydiphenyl sulfone

  • A.P-II ; Q-IV ; R-III ; S-I
  • B.P-II ; Q-IV ; R-I ; S-III
  • C.P-IV ; Q-III ; R-II ; S-I
  • D.P-IV ; Q-I ; R-III ; S-II

Answer: A

The correct matching is P-II ; Q-IV ; R-III ; S-I.

  • Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) is made from sodium sulfide and p-dichlorobenzene, joining benzene rings through sulfur (II).
  • Poly(ether sulfone) comes from the self-condensation of 4-chloro-4'-hydroxydiphenyl sulfone, which forms ether links between sulfone units (IV).
  • PEEK is made from 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone and hydroquinone, giving two ether links and one ketone per repeat unit (III).
  • Polycarbonate is made from phosgene and bisphenol A (I).

The other options assign the sulfone-containing monomer to PEEK or the phosgene route to a sulfide or sulfone polymer, which does not give the named backbone.
