    Which is not a polymer?

    A)  Sucrose       

    B)  Enzyme

    C)  Starch        

    D)  Teflon

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (i) Teflon is polymer of tetrafluoroethylene \[(C{{F}_{2}}=C{{F}_{2}})\] (ii) Starch is polymer having formula\[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{10}}{{O}_{5}})}_{n}}\] (iii) Enzymes are proteins made of polypeptides. (iv) Sucrose \[({{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}})\] is a disaccharide. It gives two molecules of monosaccharides on hydrolysis. It is not polymer but it is dimer. \[\underset{sucrose}{\mathop{{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{{H}^{+}}/invertase}\underset{glucose}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]\[\underset{fructose}{\mathop{+{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]
