Chemistry Question on Types of Polymerisation Reactions

Synthetic polymer which resembles natural rubber is:

A

neoprene

B

chloroprene

C

glyptal

D

nylon

Answer

neoprene

Explanation

Solution

Neoprene is the polymer of chloroprene (2-chloro-but 1, 3-diene). It resembles in appearance with natural rubber. nCH2=CH−CC∣l=CH2−>[Polymerisation]nCH_2 = CH - \underset{\overset{|}{C}l}{C}= CH_2 {->[\text{Polymerisation}]} [−CH2−CH=CC∣l−CH2−Neoprene]n\left[ \underset{\text{Neoprene}}{-CH_2 - CH = \underset{\overset{|}{C}l}{C}-CH_2 -}\right]_n
