Which of the following is a natural polymer?
Options
- Apoly (Butadiene-styrene)
- Bpolybutadiene
- Cpoly (Butadiene-acrylonitrile)
- Dcis-1, 4-polyisoprene
Correct answer
D. cis-1, 4-polyisoprene
Step-by-step solution
Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene. The chemical name of isoprene is 2 - methyl- 1 , 3 - butadiene and its chemical formula is CH 2 = C ( CH 3 ) − CH = CH 2 . Isoprene is a liquid that is colourless and volatile. As we can see from the formula it has two double bonds. So answer is cis- 1 , 4 -polyisoprene
