Chemistry Question on Polymers

Natural rubber is a polymer of

A

styrene

B

chloroprene

C

CH2=CC∣H3−CH=CH2CH_2 = \underset{\overset{|}{C}H_3}{C}- CH = CH_2 or isopropene

D

1, 3-butadiene

Answer

CH2=CC∣H3−CH=CH2CH_2 = \underset{\overset{|}{C}H_3}{C}- CH = CH_2 or isopropene

Explanation

Solution

The commercial natural rubber is obtained from the tree Hevea brasiliensis. Natural rubber is found to be a polymer of cis−cis- isoprene CH2=CC∣H3−CH=CH2CH_2= \underset{\overset{|}{C}H_3}{C}- CH = CH_2 Hence, it is a polymer of cu-isoprene.
