Question 47
PolymersSynthetic rubber is made by polymerization of
- A.2 methyl buta – 1, 3 – diene
- B.2 methyl buta – 1,2– diene
- C.2 methyl but–1–ene
- D.2 methyl but–2–ene
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (2 methyl buta – 1, 3 – diene)
Explanation
Rubber is a polymer of isoprene, which is 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene. Its two double bonds allow it to form the long rubber chain.
