Which one of the following monomers gives the polymer neoprene on polymerization?
- CH2=CHCl
- CCl2=CCl2
- [figure]
- CF2=CF2
Answer
(3) [figure]
Solution
As per NCERT, neoprene (polychloroprene) is formed by free radical polymerisation of chloroprene (2-chloro-1,3-butadiene).
nCH2=C(Cl)-CH=CH2 Polymerisation -[CH2-C(Cl)=CH-CH2]n-
∵ CH2=CHCl gives PVC and CF2=CF2 gives teflon.
∴ The monomer of neoprene is chloroprene, option (3).
