List-I (Material) List-II (Property/Process) List-III (Structure/Composition) List-IV (Uses/Features)
A. Diamond 1. Thermosetting polymer I. Rigid structure i. Non-conductor
B. Graphite 2. Monomer II. Sheet-like structure ii. Ester
C. Rayon 3. Soft III. Cellulose iii. Conductor of heat
D. Nylon 4. Viscose process IV. Soft on heating iv. Ether
E. Carbon fibre 5. Synthetic fibre V. Unreactive v. Silk-like thread
F. Polyvinyl chloride 6. High strength VI. Corrosion resistant vi. Spacecraft
G. Terylene 7. Thermoplastic VII. Melts instead of burning vii. Chlorine atom replaces hydrogen
H. Bakelite 8. Polyester fibre VIII. Ethylene glycol viii. Cross-linked
9. Hardest natural substance IX. Phenol and formaldehyde ix. Terephthalic acid

140. Which of the following matches is correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The question requires matching a material from List-I with its corresponding properties and characteristics from Lists II, III, and IV. The correct match is Option A (A 9 I i) based on the following facts:

  • List-I (A): Diamond
  • List-II (9): It is the hardest natural substance known.
  • List-III (I): It has a rigid 3D tetrahedral structure where each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four others.
  • List-IV (i): It is a non-conductor of electricity because all valence electrons are locked in covalent bonds and are not free to move.

Other options are incorrect because Graphite (B) does not soften on heating (IV) nor is it a silk-like thread (v), and Diamond is a pure form of carbon, not an ester (ii).
