Which amongst the following molecules on polymerization produces neoprene?
Options
- ACH 2 = C CH 3 - CH = CH 2
- BCH 2 = CH - CH = CH 2
- CCH 2 = C Cl - CH = CH 2
- DCH 2 = CH - C ≡ CH
Correct answer
C. CH 2 = C Cl - CH = CH 2
Step-by-step solution
Neoprene (also polychloroprene) is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene. Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. The structure of the chloroprene is CH 2 = C Cl - CH = CH 2 The formation of neoprene is as follows,
