Neoprene which is used for making shoe heels & belts is superior to natural rubber in its stability to aerial oxidation and resistance to oils & other solvents. The monomer used for making neoprene is_________________?
Correct answer: B. Chloroprene
- A. Chloroethane
- B. Chloroprene
- C. Isoprene
- D. None of these
Explanation
Neoprene is formed by polymerising chloroprene, chemically 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene. Isoprene instead forms natural-rubber-like polyisoprene, so it is not the monomer of neoprene.
