Neoprene is rendered non-inflammable, because of_____________________?
Correct answer: C. The presence of chlorine atoms in its monomer
- A. Its cross-linked structure
- B. Its linear chain structure
- C. The presence of chlorine atoms in its monomer
- D. The absence of chlorine atoms in its monomer
Explanation
Neoprene contains chlorine atoms because it is made from chloroprene, and chlorine increases resistance to ignition and burning. Cross-linking affects strength and elasticity but is not the main reason for its non-inflammability.
