Teflon is a polymer of
Options
- Atetrafluoroethylene
- Btetrabromoethylene
- Ctetraiodoethylene
- Dtetrachloroethylene.
Correct answer
A. tetrafluoroethylene
Step-by-step solution
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 ( NH ₄ )₂ ~S ₂ O ₈ high pressure ( CF ₂- CF ₂ )_n It is chemically inert and heat resistant polymer.
