Identify the monomer of natural rubber.

Options

  1. AAcrylonitrile
  2. BIsoprene
  3. CEpsilon-caprolactum
  4. DTetrafluoroethylene

Correct answer

B. Isoprene

Step-by-step solution

Natural rubber is a linear polymer of isoprene, which is chemically known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene. It is also called cis-1,4-polyisoprene. Acrylonitrile is the monomer of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Epsilon-caprolactam is the monomer of Nylon-6. Tetrafluoroethylene is the monomer of Teflon (PTFE). Therefore, the monomer of natural rubber is isoprene. Answer: Isoprene
