Identify the monomer used to prepare orlon.

Options

  1. Avinyl chloride
  2. Bacrylonitrile
  3. Cstyrene
  4. Dtetrafluoroethylene

Correct answer

B. acrylonitrile

Step-by-step solution

Orlon is the trade name for polyacrylonitrile (PAN). It is an addition polymer formed by the polymerisation of acrylonitrile. The chemical reaction is: n CH₂=CH-CN Polymerisation [-CH₂-CH(CN)-]_n Thus, the monomer used to prepare orlon is acrylonitrile. Answer: acrylonitrile
