Question

The synthetic polymer which resembles natural rubber is

• A. Neoprene
• B. Chloroprene
• C. Glyptal
• D. Nylon

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Neoprene

Answer 2

In Neoprene monomer unit is

$CH_{2} = \underset{Cl}{\underset{|}{C} -}CH = CH_{2}$ (chloroprene)

While Isoprene$(CH_{2}\underset{CH_{3}}{= \underset{|}{C -}CH} = CH_{2}$) is the monomer of natural rubber.
