Question: Cis-Polyisoprene possesses elastic property because...
Cis-Polyisoprene possesses elastic property because
A
It is soft and soluble in non-polar solvent
B
It is unsaturated and porous
C
It has a coiled structure and chains held together by weak van der Waals forces
D
It has a fibrous structure and reactive sites at various double bonds.
Answer
It has a coiled structure and chains held together by weak van der Waals forces
Explanation
Solution
The cis- polyisoprene chains are held together by van der Waals forces and has a coiled structure. Thus, it can be stretched like a spring and exhibits elastic properties.
