Options
- AIt is a linear polymer of 1 , 3 -butadiene.
- BIt is obtained by copolymerization of 1 , 3 -butadiene and styrene.
- CIt is obtained by copolymerization of 1 , 3 -butadiene and acrylonitrile.
- DThe suffix N in Buna- N stands for its natural occurrence.
Correct answer
C. It is obtained by copolymerization of 1 , 3 -butadiene and acrylonitrile.
Step-by-step solution
Buna- N is formed by the co-polymerization of 1,3-butadiene and vinylcyanide(acrylonitrile) in the presence of a peroxide catalyst. It is a synthetic rubber.
