Which of the following polymers is prepared by using phenol?
Bakelite
Melamine
Teflon
Neoprene
Solution
Bakelite is a thermosetting polymer prepared by the condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde under acidic or basic conditions. It is widely used in electrical insulators, kitchenware, and other heat-resistant applications.
Melamine: Made from melamine and formaldehyde.
Teflon: Made from tetrafluoroethylene.
Neoprene: Made from chloroprene.
