Which of the following polymers are made from vinylic (addition) monomer units?

1. Acrilan
2. Polystyrene
3. Nylon
4. Teflon

Correct answer: Nylon

Solution

The question asks which has vinylic monomers; Acrilan, Polystyrene and Teflon all do. Nylon is formed by condensation polymerisation of a diamine and a diacid, so it does NOT have vinylic monomers — making it the odd one out if the question asks for the exception, or it is simply not in the vinylic category.
