Question

Teflon is a polymer of

• A. tetrafluoroethylene
• B. tetrabromoethylene
• C. tetraiodoethylene
• D. tetrachloroethylene

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

tetrafluoroethylene

Answer 2

Teflon is polytetrafluoro ethylene and it is prepared from tatrafluoro ethylene by heating under pressure in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulphate. $n CF _{2}= CF _{2} \frac{\left( NH _{4}\right)_{2} S _{2} O _{8}}{\text { high pressure }}\left( CF _{2}- CF _{2}\right)_{n}$ It is chemically inert and heat resistant polymer:
